VPN servers
The VPN server you will need to use to make remote VPN connections will vary depending on your operating system. For a link to instructions for your operating system, see The basics of VPN at IU.
Note: When connecting from off campus, SSL VPN is the replacement for IU's IPsec- and PPTP-based VPN services, and UITS recommends using it now if your campus supports it. PPTP is retired at IU Bloomington and IUPUI, and IPsec VPN service at those campuses will be retired by fall 2010.
IU Secure is the wireless network for students, faculty, and staff to access when on campus. IU Secure uses WPA2 Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access) for authentication; no VPN is needed. IU Northwest will have IU Secure by spring semester 2010; it is available at all other campuses except IPFW.Your IP address
The IP address of your workstation is four numbers
separated by periods (e.g., 156.56.12.33 or
149.166.126.155). If you connect via Ethernet in campus
housing or via the modem pools, your IP address is assigned
dynamically each time you connect. For help determining the IP
addresses of your workstation or router, see How do I determine my computer's IP address? and
IP addresses If you are a faculty or staff member, you may also
contact your department's computing support provider.
For the IP address of your router or gateway, the first three sets of
numbers are the same as your workstation's IP address. At IUB, the
last number is either 254 or 174. At IUPUI,
the last number is either 100 or 101.
Notes
The settings above are correct if you connect to the Internet from campus, or through the UITS modem pool at IUB or IUPUI, although if you use a departmental LAN for your mail, some of your settings may vary.
These settings are not correct if you connect to IU computers through an outside Internet service provider (ISP). Contact your ISP for further information. Furthermore, if you connect through an outside ISP, you will not have access to some IU computing resources, including some library databases and outbound (SMTP) mail service. To access restricted services when you are connecting through a non-IU ISP, make a remote VPN connection. For more information, see The basics of VPN at IU.
To configure your Internet software, you will also need the following information:
- Your full name
- Your email (Internet) address
- The path (directory locations) of helper applications
