On-Campus Internet Access

Wired Access (Ethernet)
The Quinn Library, the third floor lounge, and some classrooms have high-speed Internet connections. To use them, you need a network interface card (NIC), available on campus at CompuRam (down the hall from the bookstore). It cost between $30 and $100, depending on your computer. Once you have a NIC card follow these instuctions to access the Internet (although these instuctions are from the library, connecting anywhere else on campus is the same).

Wireless Access (WiFi)
How would you like to surf the World Wide Web from Edwards Parade at Rose Hill or check your e-mail from the cafeteria at Lincoln Center? Well now you can! Thanks to the efforts of the IT staff, wireless technology is now live at Fordham University. You can attach a wireless card to your laptop or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and connect to the Internet, bringing mobility to the workplace and the academic life of Fordham University faculty, staff and students. The Fordham wireless LAN service utilizes the 802.11B wireless LAN standard and can be accessed from any mobile computing device equipped with a wireless LAN adapter that states its compliance with the WiFi Ethernet standard. Use of the wireless network requires registration and authentication using your Fordham University Lotus Notes account and a password of your choosing.
