Connecting Your Computer to the Campus Network
Through a Direct Network Connection

Every residence hall room contains wall jacks that allow students to connect their computers to the campus network without using a phone line and a modem. In order to use this service, your computer must have a 10Base-T Ethernet adapter and a 10Base-T Ethernet cable. All new computers can be ordered with an Ethernet adapter, and both items are available at the University Bookstore and at many computer stores.

Most computers already have software that will let you do basic work on the Internet. Many computers sold within the last four years should connect to the network automatically when they detect an active Ethernet connection.

If you are a student having difficulty connecting to the University's network, you can leave voice mail at 831-8825 or send an e-mail message to our staff. If you are a faculty or staff member seeking assistance with connecting an on-campus computer to the network, contact the IT Help Center at 831-6000 or send an e-mail message to consult@udel.edu.


You must register your computer's network adapter for full Internet access.
