To use the application server, you must have a computer connected to the Humanities Network. We recommend you download the following software from the web to update your MS Word 6 installation. This update should alleviate some of the crashes experienced by Macintosh Word 6 users. Name service is available for any computer connected to HUMnet. Name service provides an internet name to correspond to your computers internet number.
Some internet sites use name service for authentication.
You may not be able to connect to those sites which use name service if your computer does not have a DNS entry. This is a reminder that HCF provides the network cards needed to connect all computers, printers, and other devices to HUMnet. This standardization helps us provide better support for all networked devices. When ordering equipment you wish to put on the Humanities network, please do not order network cards. The new 8500 Powermacs are installed on the brand new workstations.
