In IU campus housing, why do I have to re-register my computer in the fall?
Every year, before the beginning of the fall semester, all IP addresses registered to computers in Indiana University Bloomington and IUPUI campus housing expire. This policy enhances the security and integrity of the IU network, and applies to computers registered to students, faculty, staff, and guests.
If you live in campus housing, you need to run the Get Connected software and successfully complete the registration process.
Note: Use Get Connected to register Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Mac OS X 10.5 and later computers to use the Indiana University network in campus housing. Computers running earlier versions of Mac OS, Linux computers, and game consoles must be manually registered. For help, contact your campus Support Center. You cannot register earlier versions of Windows on the IU network in campus housing.
If you are running Windows 95, 98, or Me, you must upgrade to Windows XP or Vista to access the IU network. For more information, see Recommended Windows operating systems at IU.
