How does the dorm network work?
The dorm is networked with the standard 10 megabit Ethernet, connected to the University backbone, offering amazing Internet speeds. We usually spend the first Sunday getting computers online and working. Almost every operating system is supported. So far we haven’t had any problems getting a computer on the network. Be sure, however, to bring or rent a hub or router and a patch cable: each dorm room has only one active Ethernet jack, meaning only one person can use the network at a time without a hub or router. There is also a lounge in Bursley that provides wireless access.
