Re: Dorms not allowing routers question
You can use a router. It all depends on how your campus network is set up.
If you need to register your MAC address, logon through a web page, or do nothing but plug in then use the instructions below, if you need to use VPN software running on your computer then you can only us ICS.
All you need to do is clone your computers MAC address to your router.
Plug your routers WAN port to your wall outlet. Then plug your computers and game counsels into the LAN ports. Also you can leave your DHCP server on as it will not affect anything over the WAN port including your campus network. You might want to leave your firewall on in the router to help prevent any viruses or your campus IT guys from scanning anything behind your router.
Also when you connect your router to the campus network with the WAN port with your PCs cloned MAC address they will just think your PC is plugged in and they will have no idea you are using a router. |

St John'S, NL | Also when using a router remember to route the ports throught the router. Game consels and p2p will need ports routed, but you do not need to route any ports for just browsing the web. |
