At IUB and IUPUI, how do I register my gaming console?

Username:
Password:

To use your PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation 2 Slim, PlayStation 2 (PS2), Xbox 360, Xbox, or Wii console for interactive gaming on the Indiana University network, you first need to register the device's MAC address. To do so, obtain the MAC address (follow the appropriate instructions below), and then call your campus Support Center so that a consultant can manually register your console on the network.

Note: The PlayStation Portable (PSP) and Nintendo DS cannot connect to WPA2 Enterprise, and therefore cannot authenticate to IU Secure. See Security standards.

PlayStation 3

Power up the PS3 without any disc in the drive.
Once the main menu screen appears, select Settings.
Select System Settings.
Select System Information. This screen will display your PS3 MAC address.

PlayStation 2

Load the Network Adapter Start-up Disk, provided with the PS2 Ethernet adapter. Select ISP Setup from the screen. To continue, press the X button on your controller.
Review the license agreement, and then select Agree and press the X button to continue.
Choose Local Area Network (LAN) as your connection type. Press the X button to continue.
Select Automatic Configuration, and then press the X button to continue.
On the Connection Test screen, select Advanced. Press the X button to continue.
Under Advanced Broadband Settings, make sure that Automatic is selected. Your MAC address will display at the bottom of the screen.

PlayStation 2 Slim

With no disks inserted, turn on the PS2 Slim.
After the "Browser/System Configuration" options appear on the screen, push the Triangle button on the PS2 controller.
On the bottom of the Version screen, you'll see the MAC address of the PS2 Slim.

Xbox

Insert the Xbox Live CD and follow the on-screen instructions to update your Xbox Dashboard. Once you have updated your Xbox Dashboard, use your controller to select the XBOX LIVE option.
Your Xbox will now attempt to connect to the Xbox Live service. Because you have not changed your Xbox Live settings yet, you will receive an error message stating "A network connection could not be created". This is the correct procedure; use your controller to select OK.
Press the A button on your controller to bring up the CONNECT STATUS screen. Scroll down and select SETTINGS. Press the A button on your controller to bring up the NETWORK SETTINGS screen.
Your Xbox's MAC address should now display in the bottom right corner of the screen, in the format "MAC=xxxxx" (where "xxxxx" is replaced with your MAC address).

Xbox 360

Note: Installing the New Xbox Experience (NXE) may reset the alternate MAC address, if configured. If your Xbox 360 no longer has network access after installing the NXE, repeat these instructions.

To access the Xbox Guide, press the Xbox Guide button on the Xbox 360 controller. The Guide button is silver, in the center of the controller, and has a green X on it.
Press right until you reach the Settings blade.
Select System Settings, and then Network Settings.
If you have installed the NXE, select Configure Network, open Additional Settings, and then open the Advanced Settings tab.

If you have not installed the NXE, select Edit Settings, then open Additional Settings, and then Advanced Settings.
Your MAC address will appear under "Wired MAC Address".

Nintendo DS

In the game's menu, go to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Setup.
Select Options, and then System Information. The MAC address is displayed on the top line.

Wii

Select the Wii button on the lower left side of the main menu.
Select Wii Settings, and click the arrow on the right side of the screen.
Select Internet, and then Console Information. Your Wii's MAC address will appear on the screen.
