Getting the right card is extremely important to making a successful connection. ITS has recommended cards for your system, so getting it from us will likely save you time, money and frustration. ITS attempts to provide excellent service to the entire campus, and sometimes this requires setting boundaries for support. Computers falling outside these boundaries are more time-consuming and expensive to troubleshoot. So in fairness to other users, ITS reserves the right to limit time spent connecting unsupported hardware to the ResNet.
Unsupported equipment falls outside the range of configurations specified in the chart above.
However, we've tried to make it easy for you to buy a system that works on the GC ResNet. For PCs, we work closely with Mapletronics Computers here in Goshen in making supported PCs available to students. While most software problems can be fixed by Help Desk Personnel, the college does not provide hardware repair service to students. Your computer manufacturer will usually have recommendations for repair options. There are also several computer repair businesses in the area.
