ENC
is pleased to announce secure wireless network
access for campus community members. Following
is all the information you need to get connected. If you do not have an NSA account, you may use the "ENC Guest" to use the open wireless network.
Where is wireless available?
At the present time, the
IT team is working on building a robust wireless
infrastructure. Wireless network is available
across most campus buildings and a few outdoor
areas, including the lawn in front of Gardner
Hall, and the picnic table area outside of the
Mann Student Center. For optimal speed and reliability,
we recommend that you connect your computer
to the network using the Ethernet jack in your
room.
What do I need?
1. A laptop computer running
Windows XP or MAC OSX with the latest updates.
Note: Windows Vista is not compatible with ENC
wireless at the moment. ITS is working with
Microsoft to resolve the issue. We will inform
you if there is any progress.
2. An ENC Network Services Account (NSA). You
must also reset your NSA password before attempting
a wireless connection. Go to http://nsa.enc.edu
Note: If you are visiting ENC,
you may use our ENC Guest account exclusively
set up for ENC guests.
3. A wireless network adapter compatible with
802.11b or 802.11g.
Visit the ITS helpdesk Monday
through Friday, 8am-5pm for help with a Windows
or Mac laptop, or if you forgot your NSA
username or password.
