Just stop by the Student Help Desk in MCEC 133 and pick up the packet of instructions for the Student Network Installer at the documentation rack just outside the office. Once you follow the directions on how to configure your machine to communicate with the network, you will be able to register your machine and connect to run the installer. First, it creates an email account if you don't already have one. Second, it registers your computer on Trinity's network with a valid IP address so you can get out on the Internet. Lastly, it infuses your Windows computer or Mac with the latest and greatest network software, like Eudora electronic mail, Internet Explorer for World Wide Web browsing if you don't already have it, and so on.
Network services are available to students who live off-campus.
The Student Help Desk can provide printed documentation of the dial-in instructions for your particular computer system. If you live in an area that is a long-distance call to Trinity, or have a cable modem or other ISP service that is not through Trinity, we can also provide alternatives to help you access the campus resources you need. Just give us a call at x8746 or the direct line at x2007. All students can both receive and send personal electronic mail - even if you don't own a computer. E-mail users can send messages, software, and data to any user on the Internet, across campus or around the world.
