Fast Network Connections
ResNet lets you connect your personal computer--when equipped with
a 10BaseT, 10/100BaseT, or 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet adapter--directly
to NC State's data communications network, and through the university
network, to the Internet. ResNet enables you to easily perform many
tasks from your own room:
- Exchange email
- Browse and publish information on the World Wide Web
- Access campus information, course registration, library catalogs
and other databases
- Submit assignments to professors, confer with classmates, conduct
research for papers
- Participate in electronic groups (mailing lists and news groups)
- Access your Unity/Eos network file space via applications like
telnet and FTP (Note: ResNet does not provide access to the same
software available in the Unity/Eos labs.)
Why use ResNet?
- No phone line or modem is needed (No more busy signals!)
- Connections are multiple times faster than any modem on the
market
- Access is immediate
- No additional Internet access provider is needed
- There are no time limits on how long you can remain connected
- ResNet staff is available to help
set up your connection
Help is always available to set up your ResNet
connection. Friendly ResNet staff members
are available to assist you if you have problems. They'll even set
up an appointment to come to your room to work on your connection.
You won't get that kind of service from any other Internet service
provider!

Computing and information technologies have become essential in
our society and to higher education. NC State University has a strong
commitment to preparing its graduates for the technology-based future.
Students aren't required to bring a computer to NC State, however,
an ever-growing number choose to have a computer available for their
personal use. ResNet helps students living on campus take full advantage
of the resources available via their computer.
