FAQ for those of you wondering how to set up wireless, what a Mac
address is, where to find it, and where to get help.
Student Workstation Configuration for CED Wireless Network
1. Refer to CED Computing Handbook for
general wireless network information and overview.
It is strongly suggested that your use Windows 2000 or XP. For Macintosh users the Apple Airport Card is an 802.11b-compliant device. Earlier versions of the Airport card and base station (graphite color devices) did not completely comply with this standard but are upgradeable (see
http://www.apple.com/airport).
2. Install the 802.11-based network card according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Find the MAC address (a.k.a. “node” or “hardware address”) for your network card
if it is not already printed on your card. If you're not sure how
to do this, check out our Wireless
FAQ.
Note: For WINDOWS 98/ME machines, after rebooting your machine type WINIPCFG at the Run icon on the Start menu. This command will report the MAC address of your network card.
b. You will need to register this number with the Lab Manager to gain access to the wireless network.
Bring this number with you to Wurster 477 when you sign up for your
computing account.
4. Configure your network connection.
a. If necessary, install the TCP/IP protocol on your new network card through the Local Area Network Properties. On a Macintosh make sure
TCP/IP is loaded on the system. You may need to enter the following configuration data:
DHCP: Select “Obtain an IP address automatically”.
DNS Servers:
Obtain DNS Automatically if available. If not:
128.32.136.9
128.32.136.12
Gateway: 169.229.202.129
Note: On Windows XP machines please make sure the wireless card is not attached to the network bridge. It should operate independently.
5. Download and Install the Novell client. We strongly recommend
you use the instructions
we've written as there are many settings and options which must be
configured particular to the CED network environment.
The Novell client software will allow you to make a connection to your network storage space (G: drive) and to college and departmental printers. Access to this same storage space is also available through the Novell Web interface -- please see your departmental Lab Manager for details.
For Macintosh users you will need to purchase a Novell client from: http://www.prosofteng.com/index.php.
In the process of loading the Novell client you will need to enter the following configuration information:
Novell Tree: CED_TREE
Server: Arch1 (Architecture) or CPLA1 (City Planning and Landscape Architecture)
Context: students.arch.ced (Architecture) or students.cpla.ced (City Planning and Landscape Architecture)
User name: as assigned
Password: as assigned
