Look over UC San Diego's minimum network connection standards and make sure your computer meets them, including:

  • Anti-virus software
  • Firewall software
  • Up-to-date, patchable operating system software

  • Check with your department's system administrator. Many system administrators handle machine registration for their local areas.
  • If your department doesn't have a system administrator, fill out a registration form for each computer you want to register. The IT Services hostmaster will return your IP address and host name. Hostmaster will try to process requests as quickly as possible within 48 hours.

If your department uses IT Services' wiring services:
  • Ask your supervisor for an index number to recharge the cost of activation or installation.
  • Fill out IT Services' online Customer Service Request (CSR) form.

Select your operating system to configure your computer to use on the campus wired (Ethernet) network:
