<p>When freshmen want to use their computers in their dorm rooms, what do they have to do to hook up to ResNet? </p>
<p>I'm asking mainly what sort of equipment they need. Do students need to bring cables or anything like that?</p>
<p>They provide the cable... it's a regular ethernet cable.</p>
<p>every room comes with an ethernet cable and there is also a CD that you get to install Bear Access. Bear Access is a package of programs that includes Just the Facts, Colts, Thunderbird, and a lot of other optional programs.</p>
<p>The only thing the student needs to bring is the computer itself and any necessary items otherwise such as battery (if laptop), power cords, monitor etc.</p>
<p>They no longer include the CD for bear access. You can dl bear access from the website.</p>
<p>No wifi?</p>
<p>Where are the hotspots on campus, if any?</p>
<p>There's wireless all over campus, just not in most dorms. See <a href="http://www.cit.cornell.edu/redrover/%5B/url%5D">http://www.cit.cornell.edu/redrover/</a></p>
<p>almost all dorm rooms do not have wifi acess b/c cornell resNet wants to make sure they charge you for those late night anime sessions ;) </p>
<p>hopefully dcplusplus will still be there ^.^</p>
<p>freshman dorms DO have dc++</p>
<p>well the existance of dcplusplus depends on a few things...you forget this is not an official thing...so shhh and let's hope for the best!</p>
<p>dc++ doesn't exist, it's a lure by Cornell to get students to come, just for the free stuff. Cornell doesn't give you anything for free.</p>
