There are more than 10,000 network ports on Northern's campus. For help connecting to one of them see:

Connecting on Campus Via a Network Port (Windows)

These instructions tell how to connect to the campus network through one of the orange network ports on campus. They assume your network settings are already configured.

  • NMU notebook computers are already configured to connect to the NMU network.
  1. Find an orange network port.
  2. Plug your network cable into the orange network port and into the network port on the side of your computer.
  3. If the connection is not established automatically, open ThinkVantage Access Connections and troubleshoot the connection from there.

Note: The first time you connect a computer to the campus network, you must register the computer's network interface(s).
