Students, instructors, researchers and employees at the U of S must register their personal desktop computers and laptops by following these steps:

• New computers have factory default settings configured for DHCP. If your settings have been altered, you may need to configure your device's network settings to DHCP.
• Connect the device to the campus network using an Ethernet port (network jack).
• Start up a web browser (e.g. Netscape, Internet Explorer, Safari).
• Use your NSID to log in to the U of S self-registration webpage that appears automatically when you start up a web browser. (If the self-registration webpage does not appear the device may already be registered. If you are unable to access webpages on the Internet please contact the ITS Help Desk.)

When the University network receives a web request from an unregistered device it will automatically display the U of S self-registration webpage. After registering your computer or laptop reboot it before attempting to access the network.
