In building access (typically from a laptop)
- Authenticate as needed (necessary on the wireless network)
- Make sure you have web access by loading a remote website
- Run the batch script that was previously downloaded to connect your personal
R: drive or the shared S: drive OR follow the Macintosh steps
NOTE: This has to be done at least once per restart of your computer and/or daily, and may be necessary if your computer goes into a sleep/hibernate mode.
Remote Access (eg Home)
- Make sure you are connected to the internet by downloading a website
- Run the DoIT provided VPN software and connect
- Run the batch script that was previously downloaded to connect your personal R: drive or the shared S: drive
NOTE: This has to be done at least once per restart of your computer, everytime
that vpn software is disconnected, and may be necessary if your computer goes
into a sleep/hibernate mode.
NOTE: While possible, using a dialup phone modem is very very slow
