As with anything else, you can buy a really cheap card and it may work, but you get what you pay for. The ResNet Office provides a list of recommended cards for use on ResNet. Network cards other than the 3COM, SMC, and Asante cards specified may not work properly on our network. If the recommended network cards are not available in your area, they are available in Las Vegas or by mail order. There is no fee for connecting to ResNet.
Students are responsible for providing and installing their own network cards and patch cables.
The ResNet Office has created an instructional guide to assist you. Follow the steps to get your computer connected to the Internet. Yes, every year students must re-register their computers. We advise that you try our the steps in our instructional guide first, then if there are any problems or questions contact the ResNet Office for further assistance.
