If you are purchasing a new PC, you should order it with an ethernet adapter pre-installed. If you already own a computer and it does not have an ethernet adapter pre-installed, we suggest purchasing a 3Com 10/100 Etherlink adapter. Laptop users can purchase a comparable PCMCIA card. Ethernet adapters are available for purchase through the IMU Bookstore or from local vendors. The ResNet system was designed for the use of a 3-meter patch cable (also referred to as a dropcord). If you choose to use a longer dropcord, the level of service cannot be guaranteed. Category 5 (or 5e), 10BaseT ethernet dropcords are now commonly available at most consumer electronics stores. The University Bookstore at the IMU will carry the dropcord recommended by ITS. (Please note: Splitters or other connection devices should never be used to connect two or more Ethernet cords.
