Your Ethernet card address appears on the Adapter Address line. If the Ethernet card is not in the computer, or if it is not properly installed, the PPP Adapter address may appear instead. This is not the address needed to register your laptop. If the Ethernet card is not listed, or if you can not run winipcfg.exe, see the appendix on configuring your Ethernet card. Once your application is processed, you will receive notification via e-mail that your registration is complete.
Registration generally takes two business days.
See the appendix on configuring your Ethernet card. To connect to NYU-NET from the library, you need to configure your networking software to use the DHCP protocol. This protocol allows you to move among multiple connection types with a single computer. Each time you start a session in the library you may be assigned a new IP number, even if you are plugging into the same port. This differs from an office or ResNet connection, where the same IP address is used every time you connect.
