About IP addresses in IUB campus housing

To register your computer for use in Indiana University Bloomington campus housing, you need to use DHCP rather than a static IP address. The Get Connected software automatically configures TCP/IP to use DHCP to obtain an IP address. However, if you need to set up your computer manually, you must configure TCP/IP to obtain an IP address using DHCP.

For more information about configuring your computer manually, see the following:

• For Windows, see In Windows, how do I configure my computer to obtain an IP address automatically?
  
  
• For Mac OS X, see At IUB or IUPUI, in Mac OS X, how can I manually configure my computer to connect to the network?
  
  
• For information about registering your computer for IU network access, see At IUB and IUPUI, how do I register my computer?

  Note: You can use Get Connected to register your Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Mac OS X (10.3 and later) computer to use the Indiana University network in campus housing. Computers running Windows 2000 or Linux, as well as game consoles, must be manually registered. For help, contact the UITS Support Center. You cannot register earlier versions of Windows on the IU network in campus housing.

For further assistance, contact the Support Center.
