- Using the UMBC Residential Network (ResNet) requires that your computer sign in with your account. There are a few steps necessary to do so using Windows.
- If your software requires connections that are being blocked by the ResNet firewall, see How do I exempt my computer from the Residential Network firewall?
If you're running Windows 10, you can use the automatic setup script to configure your computer to use the residential network:
1. First, download the following two files: SetupResNet.cmd and Ethernet0.xml . Open your download folder. |  |
| 2. Open your download folder, right-click on SetupResNet.cmd and select "Run as Administrator". |  |
| 3. Click Yes to allow the script to make changes. |  |
| 4. A black window will appear as the automated setup process is completed. |  |
| 5. When prompted by the setup script, disconnect and reconnect your network cable. | |
| 6. You will be asked to sign in. Enter your UMBC username and password. |  |
| 7. You should see a window telling you that Windows can't verify the server's identity. Click Connect. |  |
| 8. You should be connected to the internet in a few seconds. You should not have to repeat these instructions when you connect in the future. |
Note
If for some reason this process doesn't work, you can follow the instructions on How do I connect to the UMBC Residential Wired Network using a PC running Windows 10? (Manual Configuration).
