At IU, how can I use my Ethernet card off campus?

Indiana University provides only dial-in connections for off-campus computers. The university does not provide direct network connections. (Some Greek houses, however, are connected to the campus network. See What is GreekNet, and how can I get my Greek house connected to it?) Some apartment complexes may offer network access via standard Ethernet.

One use for Ethernet cards off campus is to connect multiple computer systems together. Internet access for off-campus computer systems connected by Ethernet requires an outside Internet service provider (ISP).

For service comparable to Ethernet, contact your telephone company and ISP about getting digital subscriber line (DSL) service, or your cable company about using a cable modem.

For information regarding the availability of cable modems in Bloomington, visit the Comcast web site.
