How to register a new computer on the UCD network
Last Updated: 01/12/08
Whenever you buy a new computer, you must register it with IT Services before you can use it on the UCD network.
Before registering you need to get the ethernet address of your computer.
An ethernet address is a 12 digit code, e.g. 00:08:4a:f9:d5:30.
Go to Start > Run.
Type Command in the run box. A black box will appear.
Type ipconfig/all and hit Return. Some information will then appear.
Under Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection, you should see a physical address. Take note of the 12 digit code. This is the computer’s ethernet address.
Using a network cable, connect your new piece of equipment to a network point in your office (in case of laptop turn off/disable the wireless network card first).
Launch a web browser. You will be automatically presented with a registration screen. When asked for a User Id and Password you should enter your UCD Connect account details. Follow the steps to submit your registration and it will be completed within 24 hours.
