Students have server space in two different locations: your home, and web drive. Your home drive is a good place to put important class work, like Word documents. There are several advantages to using your home drive: you can access these files from any connected computer on campus, and these files are backed up nightly. Any files put in your web drive will show up on the World Wide Web under http://people.cornellcollege.edu/YourUsernameHere. It is also recommended that you map the network drive. We have applications installed on our servers that you can run from your ResNet connection.

When you start up your computer you should come to a screen that says Enter Windows Password. Your standard network username and password (used when checking email and logging into the labs) should go into these boxes. If this is the first time you have done this you will be prompted to verify your password.

If you ever change your College password you will have to use your old password to logon then go to Start->Settings->Control Panel and double click on Passwords. Click Change Windows Password and then enter your old password and your next password twice. From now on you will be able to use your new standard Cornell password when logging onto your machine.

Because Cornell does not have enough licenses for every student on campus to any application at the same time you have to install KeyAccess. KeyAccess allows us to limit how many applications can be run concurrently. If you do not have KeyAccess installed you will not be able to run these keyed network applications.

1. Click Start and select Run.
2. In the Run box type \\srv5\install\public.
3. Find the folder called KeyServer Client and double click on it.
4. Double click on setup.
5. Click Next.
6. Click Next.
7. Answer Yes if it asks to store program information in the registry.
8. On the Client Network Connection window press Continue.
9. Click Close.
10. You now have KeyAccess installed on your computer. Every time you reboot your computer, or when a keyed application is run, KeyAccess will start.
