To
obtain IP address for your computer you will have to modify
the IP settings and register your computer for DHCP.
Modifying
the IP settings
-
Select
the Identification tab and write down the computer/host
name. You will use the host name later, when you register
for DHCP. If you do not find your computer name or if
you want to change it, you can use your NMSU user ID.
The computer name can contain both letters and numbers
but must begin with a letter.
Register
for DHCP
Start a web browser (either Netscape or Internet Explorer),
a dynamic host registration page should appear, otherwise
you may need to type "netreg" in the location bar
of the browser. If you still do not get the registration page,
check the settings above.
Now enter your SSN and six digit pin #, which is the same
pin used for class registration. If you do not have your pin
or if you do not remember, call the Customer Service Center
at 646-1840 for assistance.
Enter a hostname. The hostname can be anything you like but
each hostname must be unique. If you duplicate a hostname
that has already been selected by another user you will be
notified and you will need to select a new one. The hostname
can contain both letters and numbers but must begin with a
letter.
The field labeled "ethernet address" should already
be filled in. If it is blank or incorrect please contact the
Customer Service Center.
Submit your query, wait for 15 minutes, and reboot your computer.
If you have problems submitting, cross check your social security,
pin and hostname and press "Submit Query" again.
If you cannot submit, please call the Customer Service Center
for assistance.
