  1. Plug one end of your Ethernet cable into the connector on your computer. If you did not bring a cable, you can pick one up in the Main IT Office in the Watzek Library.
  2. Locate the Ethernet jack on the wall and insert the end of the cable into the jack until it clicks. Note that Ethernet jacks look similar to, but are wider than telephone jacks.
    • If there are two jacks in one faceplate, the lower one or the one on the right side will be active.
    • If there are four jacks, the lower two will be active.
    • In the Roberts Apartments, only the jacks in the bedrooms are active
  3. Start your computer (restarting is recommended if your computer is already on) and launch a web browser such as Safari. Most computers have default network software settings that work with the L&C Network and your web browser will automatically load our network registration web page.

  4. In the left corner of the registration page, you'll see the Connect to the LC Network form to the right. Type your L&C login and password in the boxes provided and click Login. Our registration program, Clean Access Agent will scan your computer for virus related system vulnerabilities. If problems are found during the scan, you will be directed to a web page with download links and instructions on how to fix any problems.

    Once the scan is successfully completed, your computer will be given complete access to network services such as WebMail, WebDisk and the Internet. Your access will expire if you disconnect from the network for more than 12 hours.

    If you encounter problems, please call the IT Help Desk (x7225, located in the Watzek Library) or view our Troubleshooting Section. For more immediate assistance, students with laptops may bring their computers to the IT Help Desk in Watzek Library during our open hours of Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm.

    If necessary, the Help Desk will schedule appointments or make referrals to Student Field Technicans for problems that require on-site assistance. Network connectivity problems always receive the highest priority.
