Network Setup via DHCP

NOTE: The majority of Department computers will be using dynamically-assigned IP addresses. Please see our FAQ, How do I configure my PC or Mac to use DHCP, for detailed setup instructions.

Network Setup via Static IP Address

For those few computers needing a static IP address, the following information should be useful. Most of these instructions are designed to help users configure their Windows PCs or Macs; however the values given for subnet mask, router/gateway address, nameservers, and search domains apply to all computers in the Department.
