In order for you to have a pleasant ResNet experience, we have the following minimum system requirements in order to connect a computer to ResNet and for support issues.
In order for you to connect your computer to the campus network, your computer will need to meet the specifications found here. Please check here to make sure your computer meets all the minimum requirements. We will not be able to connect your computer to the network if it does not meet these requirements. Although it may be possible for you to connect a computer that does not meet these requirements, we simply cannot provide the support for these machines since supporting older platforms requires a great deal more resources than we are allotted. So please stick to these requirements!
