Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
How can I connect my laptop to the network without a wireless card?

If you have a network cable, it is possible to connect to the network without a wireless card. ECC provides network jacks in the main hallway on the first floor of Nitschke Hall.

These jacks connect to the network at 100 mbps full-duplex. By comparison, wireless connections are 54 mbps full-duplex and are shared with others using the same wireless access point.

These jacks are provided so it is not necessary to disconnect network cables in computer labs.

This table shows the current status of the network jacks in Nitschke Hall as of December 2, 2005. The network jack names can be found right above the jacks themselves.
