Laptops

You may use your laptop to connect directly to our network. Our network uses DHCP to provide a dynamic IP address and routing information to your system.

Wired connection

There are ports set aside and labeled on the 4th floor where you can plug in an ethernet cable connected to your laptop. Please do not unplug any computer in the lab, the machines are monitored, updated and used remotely, a network connection is necessary for them to operate correctly.

Wireless Connection

Much of Ryerson, including the 4th floor, is served by a wireless network. Any wireless card that supports the 802.11b protocol should work on the University's wireless network. There is an authentication system that requires a CNET account and password to log on. Please see our Wireless Page for details.

Printing

You can access our printers from your laptop running Windows, OS-X or Linux. See our Printing page for details.
