This means your computer is successfully configured. The registration should take effect in ten minutes. For departmental laptops, each department should choose a single person to register its laptops such as a departmental CITA or administrative staff member. If a person leaves the University, any machines they had registered may be purged from the database and will have to be re-registered by another University employee. Because of this, departments should not have student workers or temporary staff register departmental laptops.
Registration is based on a unique identifier in each ethernet card.
If you replace the ethernet card in your computer, you will need to re-register with the new card. If you have requested a specific IP address during registration and that IP address does not have a host name registered for it, the roaming IP registration will not go through and you will not be able to connect to off-campus sites.
