We do not currently support Windows 3.1 or OS2 and these operating will not operate on our current network system. We will work as quickly as possible to update our information and services as major system software upgrades occur. While it might be slightly slower than a traditional installed card, the USB Ethernet Adapter is generally very easy to install and does not need to be installed inside the computer. Ethernet cables and cards are available for purchase from the ECU Student Stores . You are also welcome to use off-campus vendors , but make sure you purchase a card that meets our system requirements, and that you can get support after the sale if you need it.
Students are responsible for installing necessary software and configuring their machines.
Online resources for students include a WebPage that walks you through the installation and configuring of Ethernet cards for both Windows and Macintosh OS computers. It is very important that you read and follow all instructions. We have staff who can offer assistance if you have followed the instructions and are still having some trouble. Users of all campus computers and RezNet are required to follow the policies set forth by ECU's Computer Use Policy , University Policies, and any applicable State or Federal laws. University Housing Services and ITCS offer access to software to use the Internet free of charge for current students.
