News and Updates

09/06/2011-  Working on game console registration requests and service requests today.

09/01/2011-  We have added an additional 2,000 ip addresses to the student wireless network to deal with the increased demand on the wireless network this semester.  For those that have sent game console registration requests, we will be getting back to you on Friday to process them.

08/30/2011-  This site has been updated for the Fall 2011 semester.  One special note for returning students; If you are having problems logging in to our network, please make sure your password has not expired.  If it has or you think it has, visit http://mypassword.salisbury.edu to reset your password.


RESNET is provided to all students living on-campus and those in University Park I & II.  Each student will have their own Ethernet port for plugging in their computer, gaming console, or other network devices.  All student Residence Halls also have wireless connectivity at this time, with the exception of University Park.  NO HUBS, SWITCHES, ROUTERS OR WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS ARE ALLOWED TO BE HOOKED UP TO YOUR RESNET ETHERNET PORT.
 

There are 2 methods you can use to connect to RESNET (Univeristy Park now has WiFi, meaning ALL of our Residence Halls and UPARK are now WiFi enabled!):

ETHERNET:  All RESNET Ethernet ports can support 10/100mb speeds.  All network cards developed in the past 10 years can support these speeds, so as long as your computer has an Ethernet card, you are good to go.  If you are unsure if your computer has a Ethernet card, look on the back of your computer (or back/sides of your laptop) for a port that looks similar to the ones listed below:

An Ethernet port can be further identified by examining it closely and counting the number of gold pins.  A standard Ethernet port will have 8 gold pins.  Do not confuse this with a Phone (modem) port, which has 2 or 4 gold pins.

A common problem during move-in is mixing up a Phone cable and an Ethernet Cable.  A Phone cable connector will have 2 or 4 gold pins on it and an Ethernet cable connector will have 8 gold pins.  Also the Ethernet plug on the end of the cable is generally larger.   See the picture below for a side-by-side comparison:
WIRELESS:  We currently provide 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless access in all Residence Halls On-campus (excluding University Park, but we are planning wireless expansion there eventually).  To access our wireless network, you need to have built-in wireless in your laptop/desktop/device or an 802.11 a/b/g/n network card that will work with your computer.  Student's who want to use wireless should connect to the SU-Secure wireless network.

NOTE:  Windows / Mac / Linux, as well as most smartphones and tablets are now supported on our wireless network.
