File Space
The Smith School provides networked
private and shared file storage space for
faculty, staff, and graduate students.
You can use this space for any school
related files. Benefits of saving your
files on the network include nightly back up
and access over the Internet from any
computer. The file server runs Novell
Netware, and the network storage is often
referred to as your “Netware drives.”

(on your laptop)
Welcome to the home of
Wireless Technology for the Robert H. Smith
School of Business. The Smith wireless
network is provided and supported through
the ongoing partnership between the
Office of Smith IT and the
Office of Information Technology.

page for more information on setting up your
network. |
Remote
Access (to your Network drive, multiple
applications, etc.)
There are several options
available for accessing your files from outside of
Smith locations.
The easiest way to access files from
off-campus is to use the
eSmith's Windows Applications feature. This
will let you run a copy of Windows Explorer with
all of your Netware drives mapped, and you can
simply drag and drop files in Explorer to make a
local copy. You can even use eSmith to
open files directly on the server for
editing.
For additional options for accessing your
files remotely, visit our
Remote Access

Dial Up
Campus Discontinuing Dialup Service
The campus modem pool was originally
created to enable faculty, staff, and
students to have remote access to the campus
network at a time when commercial dialup
options were limited or unavailable.
Eventually, this remote access service
evolved to provide Internet access.
The vast majority of users have switched to
other commercial options over the years, and
the modem pool usage has declined
dramatically. Because of this decreased
usage and the availability of other options,
the number of modems supporting the campus
dialup service is continually being reduced.
OIT will eliminate dialup service
completely on June 30, 2007. |
