Every computer is different and while we are willing to offer advice on how to get your system connected to the UNLV network, we cannot guarantee that your equipment is capable of successfully connecting to or operating on the UNLV network. Purchase only an Ethernet adapter that has a 10BaseT connection such as the adaptor on the left. If your card has two phone jacks, it is a modem not an ethernet card. The network port requires a Category 5 network patch cable . Phone cords will not work properly.
All configurations are examples only.
Purchase a good surge protector. Surge protectors help protect your computing investment, so don't buy a cheap one. We use Tripplite Isobars on our equipment, but there are other effective brands. Maintained by Campus Housing ResNet Office.
