Connecting laptops in the Library
There are 16 public ethernet connections in the Chemistry Library, that are now available to users with laptop or notebook computers.
The standard wall mounted RJ-45 connectors are labeled as 20, 21,..., 42.
To connect, you have to have a straight twisted pair (RJ-45) patch cable, available for about $5 in any computer store. The Electronics & Computing Facility does not provide or rent patch cables . However, you might be able to borrow one at the library desk.
You will also have to configure your computer as follows:
| Name: | libpcNN |
| IP address: | 192.168.240.NN (where 'NN' is the connector label number) |
| Domain: | internal.library |
| Mask: | 255.255.255.0 |
| Gateway: | 192.168.240.1 |
| Primary DNS: | 142.150.224.224 |
| Secondary DNS: | 142.150.224.6 |
The server's security is set up in such a way, that it will not allow connection of any misconfigured machine, therefore you have to follow these settings precisely.
Once you have set up your computer and connected it via the patch cable, you will have a full access to the Internet.
If you need any assistance, please contact Patricia at the library desk.
