Residence Hall Internet Access
Overview of Service
Students living in the residence halls have access to the Internet and e-mail from their own computers in their rooms, without the need to pay for a third-party vendor. Initial service includes Internet access, e-mail and FTP service. We are currently researching the feasibility of offering access to server space (p:\drive) and/or programs available in the computer labs.
Availability
Network connections are available in all residence halls on campus. Please see the floor plans for locations in each residence hall.
Requirements
In order to take advantage of this service, you will need to provide your own computer with a 10/100 Ethernet network card and a patch cable. If your computer does not have a network card, ASU has an agreement with our preferred vendor, Computer BYTES, to assist with the purchase and installation of the correct card at a special price for ASU students.
To obtain your e-mail account, you must go by any of the computer labs on campus and ask the assistant on duty for an e-mail account.
Recommended System Requirements
PC owners should have a Core Duo, or better, system, with at least 1GB of RAM and a 10/100 Ethernet Card. We recommend Windows XP for your operating system.
MAC owners should have a Core Duo processor or better, a 10/100 Ethernet card, and be running Mac OS X or better.
