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: You can use Get Connected to register your Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Mac OS X (10.3 and later) computer to use the Indiana University network in campus housing. Computers running Windows 2000 or Linux, as well as game consoles, must be manually registered. For help, contact the UITS 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.
