Wired ResNet
Configuration for MAC OS X
1)
Make sure you have a Category 5 Ethernet cable. (Note: A phone
cable will not work. A Category 5 Ethernet cable has 8 pins on each
end.)
2)
Plug one end of the
Ethernet cable into the network card on your computer and plug the other
end into the Ethernet jack on the wall. Like the Ethernet cable, the
Ethernet jack in the wall will have 8 pins or teeth.
Berry Residents: BOTH ethernet jacks are located on the same
side of the room. This means both ethernet jacks are above one desk, so
one student will need to run a cable from one side of the room to the
other.
Warren Place Residents: There is only one ethernet jack in each
room. It is labeled in the following format: room number/D - #
(Example: 124/D – 4)
Do NOT plug into any jacks labeled with “PR”.
McAlister, Liberty St. Dorm, & George St. Apartments:
The ethernet jacks in these dorms should be blue.
3)
Click your Internet browser (Safari). If you have a connection,
you should be directed to a page titled “Cougar ResNet Authentication”.
If you reach this page, you have a connection to the network and
everything is configured and plugged in correctly.
After you sign in on the “Cougar ResNet
Authentication” page, you should be able to open your browser and begin
using the internet. Mac users are not required to install Clean
Access. You do NOT have to continue any further in this

6)
Click Show, and select Built-in Ethernet from the
drop-down menu.
7)
From the Configure IPv4 menu, select
Using DHCP.

The DHCP Client ID, DNS Servers, and Search Domains
boxes should all be blank. Delete any information already present in
these fields.
9)
Click
Apply Now to
save the changes you have made.
10)
The IP Address should begin with 10 and be in the
following format: 10.x.x.x
You should now be connected to ResNet.
If you reach the page titled “Cougar ResNet
