New residents have to register their Ethernet card with Penn State to activate their network connection.

Returning students who had a connection before, will automatically be registered in the room they are assigned to. They still must read their email from a lab and configure their computer with the assigned IP numbers before it will work. Instructions on how to configure the computer with these numbers are found in the link listed below.

Instructions for both new and returning students are found following the "Internet Connection Setup" on the left hand side of this web page. If you have already completed these steps, you are now ready to register your card.

It can take up to one business day from the time you successfully register your card until your port in your room becomes active. If you want to be connected as soon as you move into your room, perform these steps prior to packing up your computer and arriving to campus. If you wait till you get here to follow these steps, you will experience a delay in getting connected till you complete these steps.
