HOW TO: Register Your Device For Use On the Clemson Wired Network via Ethernet (Netreg)

The Clemson NetReg system builds a dynamic table of workstation addresses and the users who register them. This ensures that there is a person that can be quickly contacted in the event that there are issues with any workstation on the network.

Registrations are extended and verified every time a user logs into the Clemson network. If a user is away from campus and does not log in to the Clemson network for one year, the registration will expire and the user will have to register again.

Note: Users can add and delete their registrations via the web.

NetReg also serves as the base for the DHCP and IP database systems for managing IP address assignment.

Registration - Laptop and Desktop Computers

How to register your computer on the Clemson network:

Plug in your ethernet cable.
Open a Web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox,Chrome). You will automatically be sent to the registration page.
Enter your Clemson username and password.
Add information about this registration (type of computer, location, etc.).
Read the acceptable use policy and click on "Accept" to complete the regsitration.
Reboot your computer.

If you are unable to follow the steps above (due to Internet issues, etc.) follow the steps to manually register your computer in the "Managing Registrations" section.
