In IUB and IUPUI campus housing, may I connect multiple computers to the campus network?

Note: Wireless networking is available in some common areas in IU campus housing, although personal wireless access points are not allowed. For more, see Wireless networking in IUB and IUPUI campus housing.

In Indiana University Bloomington and IUPUI campus housing, there is generally one data jack per resident. If you need to connect more than one computer to a single data jack, you will need to provide your own hub. The hub and its configuration must not violate any UITS policies, including IT-19, Policy on Extending the University Data Network.

You will also need to register the additional computers with the DHCP server. For more information, see At IUB and IUPUI, how do I register my computer?

Residential IT Services (RITS) staff are unable to provide either a hub or cables to connect your multiple computers. You can obtain these items from a local computer store. RITS consultants will help you configure the hub if necessary.
