You will connect to the internet through our
high speed broadband connections which are installed in all
University Dorm Rooms. You will need to have a 10/100 network card
in your computer and a CAT5 network cable. No other equipment is
required. Individual dial-up accounts are not permitted.
-
Although most students do have a personal
computer for convenience, none of the undergraduate programs at
Campbell University require students to have a personal computer.
-
Student Computer labs are available on campus.
-
Sophos Antivirus is required on all
residential student computers that use Microsoft's Windows OS. Sophos Antivirus is provided for
all full-time students at no additional charge. Please check your
Campbell Email for more information.
NOTE: We do not offer Sophos
Antivirus software for any other OS than Microsoft Windows.
-
File sharing has, in the past, interfered with
official University Business and valid educational endeavors and
therefore, is not allowed at any time.
-
We also recommend that all students uninstall
AOL Internet Access Software before attempting to logon to our
network. This does not include AOL Instant Messenger software.
-
Students should check for and clean their
computers of “spyware” before attempting to logon to the Campbell
network. There are several free tools available for spyware
detection and removal. The best are: Adaware (www.lavasoftusa.com) and Spybot (www.safer-networking.org)
-
You must install all Critical/High Priority
operating system updates. Go to www.windowsupdate.com for more
information. Additionally, your machine should be setup to check for
updates automatically.
-
Please bring all setup/restore disks and
documentation with your computer.
-
Students are not allowed to have wireless
routers or access points in the dorms. If a wireless access point
or router is discovered in your room, your network connection will
be disabled for the remainder of the semester and the router/access
point will be confiscated.
-
Due to bandwidth concerns, the usage of some
high bandwidth devices such as HD Streaming Video players may lead
to the throttling back or limiting of bandwidth to individual
students. The University Internet connection for the dorms is
primarily for academic purposes and the usage of the network for
nonacademic purposes will be curtailed if it begins to interfere
with academic use.
-
If you do not have a floppy drive you may wish
to buy a memory stick for file transport.
