The College will not support the following operating systems; continued network access is not guaranteed

• Windows 98,
• Windows 95,
• Windows ME,
• Windows NT 4.0,
• Windows 2000 and
• a Mac using OS 10.2 or an earlier edition, including OS 9.

Networking Devices

Wireless access (802.11a, b and g) is now available in the residence halls, supported and maintained by the Department of Information Technology.

Wireless routers, hubs, and/or access points will no longer be allowed on the campus network.
Do not bring them to campus.

Other Networking Devices

Non-computer Networked Devices such as PDAs, PlayStations and Xboxes

Game consoles and other networked devices that need special consideration—or are not capable of running a browser—must register a Media Access Control (MAC) address, a unique number that allows these machines to connect to a network.

To determine and register the MAC address for each device, register on the Enterasys portal at: https://enac1.marietta.edu/self_registration/

Information Technology allows Internet connectivity for these devices, but it does not offer support and bandwidth demands are not guaranteed.

Call 740-376-4860 for more information.

Voice Over IP Networks providing Internet telephone service, including Lingo, Skype and Vonage

Information Technology allows Internet connectivity for Voice Over IP devices run through a PC.

Independent routers to support these services are not permitted on the campus network.

Bandwidth demands are not guaranteed.

Wireless Printers

Wireless printers will not work with the wireless network on campus because the College's network requires user authentication. Wireless printers are unable to perform this step. We recommend using a USB cable for all of your printing needs at the Marietta College, even if your printer has wireless capabilities. For additional information please contact the manufacturer of your printer which can be found in your printer's instruction booklet.

Network Access Control (NAC) is a system implemented in large networks to:

1. Verify and manage the users connecting to the network
2. Keep the network secure by enforcing good security standards

A NAC client is required to be installed on the computer, which will verify that the computer is secure enough to be allowed access to the network.

It will check for the latest:

• Windows Updates,
• Automatic Updates,
• Symantec AntiVirus, and
• other essential security standards.

The client will not collect any personal information, only information regarding the security of the system. In turn, this will greatly reduce the spread of viruses across the network and help keep your information safe and your computing experience enjoyable.

For more information on NAC, visit the Enterasys Network Access Control product page.

An unprotected computer can be hazardous to the entire network. Marietta College implemented the Network Access Control system to block unprotected computers from accessing the Internet until they meet specific requirements, including having the latest updates for antivirus software and Microsoft Windows.

The following steps must be completed before connecting to the network.

Update Windows

• Visit Microsoft Windows Update.
• Follow the instructions to download updates.
• Continue visiting Windows Update until all files are up to date.

Get Virus Protection

• All students accessing the network on a PC are required to have updated anti-virus software.

  Symantec Live Update is free for all MC students and is available for PCs (using Internet Explorer). The program can be obtained from the "Anti-Virus" folder in your MyMC briefcase (FileName: Symantec Anti-virus.msi).

• To uninstall a previous version of Live Update,
  • to uninstall symantec 9 and 10.0, use password: symantec!@#
  • the new install of symantec 10.1.5, use password: marietta
• Anti-virus and antispyware software for Macs are not required; however, the software can be obtained from the "Anti-Virus" folder in your MyMC briefcase.
• If you are switching to Symantec Antivirus from a different antivurus program, you must completely remove your old antivirus software before installing Norton. (Visit the Virus Protection page for additional information.)

Once you have completed these steps, setting up your computer on-campus should be easy:

• Plug in your Ethernet cable,
• Open up your browser (Internet Explorer) and
• Follow the instructions on screen.

Windows Service Pack Information

Microsoft requires that all computers running Windows Update have valid license keys. If you do not have a valid key, you will not be able to download critical updates from Microsoft, and therefore will not be able to access the Internet.

Visit Microsoft's How to Tell website to determine if your copy of Windows is valid.

1. 
   Upon your initial connection to the network, NAC immediately begins the scanning process. Depending on the results of the scan, the computer will either be allowed or denied access to network resources. The figure below shows the results of the initial scan.
   
   This violation indicates that the computer must have the NAC agent software installed to gain network access. To resolve this, you will need to download the agent from the corresponding link.
2. To install the agent, download the NacAgentIstall_10.3.96.4.msi file to your computer.
   
3. Once the download is complete, run the file to begin installation.
   
4. The installation is silent and will complete without any user intervention. Once completed, an icon will appear in the task tray; this indicates the status of your computer on the network. In this case it indicates that attention is required, click on the icon to investigate the status.
   
5. This computer has been quarantined for an unknown reason. To correct this issue, open a web browser. It will automatically redirect to a webpage for more information.
   
6. According to the NAC system, there is no antivirus software installed on this computer. Antivirus is free to all students and is available by following the link on the page.
   
7. The link will bring students to the antivirus download page. Following the instructions, the user can download antivirus for their corresponding operating system.
8. Shown below are the steps required to complete the antivirus installation.
   
9. Once antivirus is installed it should automatically attempt to update virus definitions. Allow the computer to update the virus definitions as they are required to pass the registration.
   
10. Once antivirus is installed and updated, open the browser once again. Do not be alarmed if a violation is shown. At the bottom of the page, click the button marked Reattempt Network Access. This action will rescan the computer.
    
11. A page will display the status of the scan in progress.
    
12. Once the scan is completed, the status icon in the task tray will change and the browser should be redirected to the homepage. Some web browsers can have difficulty redirecting web pages after registration, a restart of the computer should fix these issues.
