IP Request
|
|
Use the form below to request a new IP address ofr a computer within the Clapp, Langley, Crawford and Life Sciences Annex building complex. Using this form requires that you have JavaScript (not Java applets) enabled on your browser.
What is an IP address? An IP address (IP stands for Internet Protocol) is a unique address identifying your computer on the internet. You need an IP
address to use web browsers, telnet and FTP programs, and other software that works over a network.
When do I need a new IP address? If you obtain a new computer, it needs a new, unique IP address to function properly on the internet. You cannot "share"
an IP address with another computer without special software. On the whole, a new printer does not need an IP address unless it is used across multiple platforms.
Who uses this form? Members of the Departments of Biological Sciences and Neurosciences should use this form
to request new IP addresses for use in the Clapp/Langley/Crawford/LS_Annex complex (CLC), which has a limited number of IP address available to use.
Why use this form? We need to manage our limited resource of available IP addresses more effectively, thereby preventing the
shortages we have experienced in the past. The central database is being managed by the Computer Committee in the Department of Biological Sciences in conjunction
with the Building Manager, Frank Vincunas.
How soon do I get the address? IP addresses can be assigned within 48 hours or so, usually sooner (if the computer folks in the
Cathedral are cooperative...)
When do I order an IP address? You'll need a new IP address if you have obtained a new computer and wish to connect it to the internet.
Request a new IP address after your ethnet port has been installed and activated.
How do physically connect the computer to the internet? In the CLC complex, you connect your computer to the internet via our local ethernet
backbone; these telephone-jack-like connectors are labeled "data" and are really RJ45 connectors for 10BaseT ethernet; we call these ethernet "ports".
How do I get a new ethernet port? You need to request one from CSSD; consult their
Information page on installing and activating ethernet ports. Only after a port is available should you request a new IP number from us.
Please gather the information, then complete this form and submit it; fields in magenta are required.
