How to Connect to the Resnet or Public Access Networks
How to Connect to the Resnet Network
This page covers connecting to the ethernet network in student housing (ResNet) or at public access locations (see below) on the Newberg and Portland campuses. Newberg students living in houses (except Beals, Chapman, McGrew, and Weesner houses) have wireless networks and should refer to our wireless network page.
Ethernet
What it is: a physical connection using an Ethernet cord.
Where it is: All student halls, suites, and apartments on campus. Four of the student houses: Beals, Chapman, McGrew, and Weesner. Public ports are available in the Bruin Den, MLRC Library, EHS Atrium, and Stevens Center. Public ports can also be found on the Portland campus in classrooms and some lobby areas.
How to connect: just plug in the Ethernet cord to your computer and the data port (these are usually orange). Your computer should automatically detect the network and connect.
NOTE: The first time you connect from a location (housing, public access areas, etc) you will be directed to the NetReg process to register your computer. You must register before you can use the network.
NOTE: If your computer previously connected from home via modem, DSL, or other means, you may have to reconfigure your computer for the GFU network. See our network troubleshooting page or bring your computer to the Service Desk
