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.

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. |
