Academic Technology provides support for the residential network (ResNet). This network connects the Brenham campus residential Halls and College Park Apartments to the campus network and Internet.
The following halls have one ethernet port per bed: Melcher, Buccaneer, Lockett, Helman, Beazley, Katherine Atkinson, Hallstein, Solons, Spencer, James Atkinson, Wheeler. The College Park Apartments Phase I and II have one ethernet port per bed.
Memorial and Holleman are provided Internet access through a cable modem/router. There is one modem per room with multiple ethernet ports on the modem/router.
The ResNet access is activated after a student has been assigned a room by Housing there is no additional fee for access.
Wireless- Wireless network is provided in the residential areas. Instructions on configuring the Blinn-StudentWPA2 wireless network SSID
Required Equipment:
Network Card
The ResNet is based on IEEE 802.11 Ethernet standards. This means
that almost any 10Base-T or 10/100/1000Base-TX network interface
card (NIC) should be compatible.
Wireless network Card
The wireless ResNet is based on 802.11b/g/n standards. Authenication
to joins the BlinnStudent network requires a current student ID
and password. Once connected, open an Internet browser and you
will be redirected to a login screen.
Patch Cable
A cable is required to connect the network card in the computer
to the wall jack. The student must provide this cable. The length
of the cable should be at least 7-10 feet to allow flexibility
in placement of the computer in the room. The cable required is
a standard Category 5 (CAT 5) ethernet cable with male RJ-45 connectors
at each end.
Network Configuration:
The ResNet will support any operating system that complies with
industry standard TCP/IP communication protocols. The ResNet uses
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to assign IP numbers
to the computers. The DHCP option should be enabled on your computer's
TCP/IP properties.
Support:
Academic Technology is equipped only to support connectivity problems
related from the wall connection and back on to the network. Academic
Technology can not provide support for student's computers and
problems with their network card, operating system, and network
configuration. To report a network related problem call HELP (4357).
