Things I didn't know: Part 4 "Plug it Cable"

Tried connecting to wireless from your dorm and the network admin allegedly suspended your wireless ID?

You can still connect through cable free.

Maybe you noticed them, the cable inputs in the library, and the university hall etc.

1) Plug the cable

2) Look at the input socket! There should be some numbers. They are the address you must insert in your connection settings.

3) put the:
a) IP address,
b) Mask,
c) Gateway and
d) DNS into your LAN connection settings.

Voila!

Things I didn't know: Part 3 "Wireless connection in Dormitory"

Now this one is a little bit off the line. I alone have this service, and I hadn't asked for it, it just spontaneously came to me. Yes, I can connect to wireless network right from my dormitory room! How? I don't know how. But try it out, it may work.

• a) Register the UTB-Student wireless network using your Novell network ID and password.
  
• b) Put the setting to automatically connect every time you are in the signal range.
  
• c) Seat yourself at the Wireless network places and go wireless.
  
• d) Shut down your PC (hopefully laptop)
  
• e) Go to your room and turn it on. If you're lucky, it should still get the signal.

If you live in one of these dorms, you can at least save the cable connection fee!

Things I didn't know: Part 1 "Using Scanner"

Editorial note: Because of some people's complaint, I change the title of the series into
"Things I didn't know" from "Things you didn't know".

Using Scanner

Well, this one is just something I noticed accidentally. I needed a scanner and I never thought I could find one.

But all the computer rooms (U2, library and u5) had 4-8 PCs marked SCAN on their monitors.

So, here's how you can use the scanner -- free.

1. You go to the Xerox push on the scan button (see the picture below)

2. Choose the PC you're sitting on. (for example, SCAN2) and scan your paper by
pressing Start (the big green button).

3. Sit on the PC with SCAN2 note on it.

4. Log in.

5. Open ScanRouter V2 Link (Start=Programs=DeskTopBinder V2) and you will see
the scanned paper.

6. Save it, and mission accomplished!

Tip: This is the image I scanned in Library. The stick figure is doing the robo dance!
