Connect to NYU-NET & the Internet
NYU-NET is NYU's campus-wide, Internet-connected network of computers, computer-related equipment, and information resources. It is used by University students, faculty, administrators, and staff. Underlying NYU-NET is a collection of hardware, software, operating procedures, and policies that define and manage how NYU-based computers connect to each other and to the Internet.
There are a variety of ways to connect to NYU-NET whether you are on-campus or off-campus. Explore the navigation menu to the left for more information and instructions. ITS also provides software that will help you protect the security of your computer and data, and make the most of your NYU-NET connection.
Your NYU NetID and password are your key to most authenticated NYU-NET resources.
Technical Details About NYU-NET
- NYU-NET's domain name: nyu.edu
- Host name and IP address to use when configuring software for PPP access: None. Use the PPP protocol, and these values are automatically supplied to your software.
- TCP/IP network mask: This depends on the location of the machine being configured; for DIAL, use of the PPP protocol supplies this value to your software.
- TCP/IP default gateway (router) address: The default gateway is the specific dial-in terminal server you attach to when dialing in. It might be one of several devices; use of the PPP protocol supplies this value to your software. Therefore, you do NOT need to enter a value in the default gateway fields when configuring your computer to dial up.
- TCP/IP domain name servers: There are several. For specific information, follow the instructions for your preferred connection type (e.g., DIAL, ResNet, NYURoam)
- Network news (NNTP) server: news.nyu.edu
Connect to NYU Web
To access NYU Web, the main NYU website, visit http://www.nyu.edu/.
Connect to NYUHome
NYUHome (http://home.nyu.edu/) is an online service that provides information and facilitates collaboration, interaction and communication for all NYU students, faculty and staff. It is a portal to many web-based services and tools. All NYU community members with access to NYUHome use their NYU NetID and password to log in. For more information and activation instructions, see the NYUHome Help pages.
Connect to NYU Libraries Resources
Some NYU Libraries resources can be accessed through the Research Tab in NYUHome. Some online Libraries resources require a specific proxy configuration, so the subscription resources that NYU makes available to students, faculty, and staff recognize that you are a part of the NYU community. For more information on which Libraries resources require NYU-NET Proxy, and instructions on how to configure proxy settings for your computer, see the NYU-NET Proxy page of this website.
