ResNet Registration Instructions

Registering your Computer for ResNet and NYU-NET Access

A. Introduction
This quick reference is meant to serve as a step-by-step quick-reference guide to the new NYU-NET computer registration process that enables you to access ResNet and NYU-NET, NYU's campus-wide computer network. You are allowed to register up to two computers for ResNet access. The URL for NYU-NET computer registration has changed from http://resnet.nyu.edu/ to http://computer.registration.nyu.edu/.

B. Instructions
For the most detailed and up-to-date instructions, be sure to check http://www.nyu.edu/its/resnet/ or refer to the ITS Guide to Telephone Services and ResNet to configure your computer and prepare it to register for ResNet. You cannot complete the registration process until you have completed the configuration steps.

1. With your Ethernet cable plugged in and your computer turned on, open a web browser and go to http://computer.registration.nyu.edu/. You should see the login screen for the NYU-NET computer registration process.
2. Type in your activated NetID and password, then click the Sign In button. If you have not yet activated your NetID, follow the link that says Need to activate your NetID or NYUHome account? to visit http://start.nyu.edu/. Follow the instructions to activate your NetID, then return to http://computer.registration.nyu.edu, enter your NetID and password, and click the Sign In button. You should now see the User Agreement screen.
3. Read the User Agreement carefully, then click the I Agree button at the bottom of the agreement. Please note: You are required to abide by the agreement even if you have not read it.
4. You should now see the Registration screen, with your computer's information automatically filled in. In the Description field, enter a description of your computer (such as "My Dell Computer" or "My Macbook"). Use the pull-down menu to chose your Computer Type, then click the Confirm button.
5. You should now see a screen confirming that the registration of your computer is complete. Wait five minutes, reboot, and you should now be able to connect to ResNet.
6. Run Windows Update or Macintosh Software Update to install any crucial operating system patches that may be available. Instructions for updating your system software can be found in the ITS Guide to Telephone Services and ResNet.
