Residential Computing does not support Schwab Residential Center. Instead, Schwab residents should go to the Schwab Resident Computer Coordinator (RCC) for help getting connected to the network. You may also file a help ticket with the GSB Help Desk at http://helpsu.stanford.edu/gsb.cgi or via phone at (650) 723-4778.

If you are an off-campus student, you can still get onto the network while on campus. If you are affiliated with an academic department (declared undergraduate students or graduate students), you should contact your department's local network administrator and request to have your computer's hardware Ethernet address(es) registered with the campus network database. For a complete list of local network administrator's by department, click here. If you are not affiliated with a department, you can contact ITSS via HelpSU. You should provide the following information in your request:

• Your computer's make/model (e.g., Dell Latitude D600, Apple Powerbook G4, etc.)
• Your computer's operating system (e.g., Windows XP Professional, Mac OSX, etc.)
• Where you will be connecting (e.g., libraries, Quad, etc.)
• Your street address
• Your computer's hardware address(es), including your Ethernet and wireless addresses

For information on dial-up/modem access from when you are off-campus, click here.

All on-campus residences have in-room Ethernet connections available. Modems are of course permitted, but you cannot dial-in to the Stanford Network (using the modem pool at 650-325-1010) from most on-campus residences. Dial-up access is reserved for off-campus users. Ethernet connections operate at about 20 times the speed of the fastest modem, so modems are no substitute for ethernet capability.

If you off-campus and need information about remote access to the Stanford Network (SUNet), please visit the Computing and Communication Network Connections page and look under the heading "Off-campus (Remote) Connections."
