Getting Connected There have been some changes to PLNU's
campus network recently so please read this information if you are
having some trouble. LomaReg, the computer registration process, is no
longer being used in order for you to gain Internet access. All you are
required to do is plug your Ethernet cable into a data port in your
room. Please follow the instructions below if you are having problems.
The ResCenter will be open beginning Monday, August 22, 2005 if you
need further assistance. Network IP Settings Please check to make sure that your network settings are set to work on the PLNU campus network. Windows 9x/2000/XP: - Click on "Network Connections" in the "Control Panel" (from the "Start" menu).
