How to Get Online

"Get Online" guides help you set up a network connection so you can start using Bear Access and Cornell's network services. Guides are available for both Macintosh and Windows.

The guides listed on this page will help you connect to the network in two ways: off-campus with a modem, a phone line, and a Cornell dial-up service (EZ-Remote or Express Lane); or on-campus with a direct network connection using Ethernet (see the ResNet web site for information about Ethernet connections in Residence Halls).

These guides are online in PDF, which can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Printed copies of the guides for connecting from off-campus can be requested from the CIT HelpDesk in 119 Computing and Communications Center on the Ag Quad. For large quantities, order online.
