Hamline University has a local area network (LAN) which connects all its on-campus buildings and dorms to our servers, which provide core services such as email and file access. This network also provides access to the University's high speed Internet connection, which allows web browsing and the access of other services off-campus.
Faculty and Staff: How to connect your MAC computer to the shared Novell disk space?
We now have the capability to allow you to connect to the information on your "U" and "I" drives., provided that you have the appropriate system software (we recommend system version Mac OSX 10 or above). To check your system version, go to the Apple Menu, and select "About this computer".
To connect to the DATA server:
- Go to the desktop menu at the top of your main screen, and select "Go"
- From the menu choose "Connect to Server"
- In the Server Address field type afp://ncs_data_server.hamline.edu and then click on "Connect"
- A dialog box will ask you for your username and password; type in your Novell network username and password
- If for some reason your username and password doesn't work, contact Anthony Schroeder at (651) 523-2965, or ext 2965 for assistance
- If your password is accepted, a box should pop up that lists the resources you can connect to
- Select the NCS_DATA resource and click on "OK" . You will now have a screen that shows multiple directories
To access U: drive data,
double-click on "shared" and then double-click on the subdirectories that appear to continue searching for the desired directory
To access I: drive data,
double-click on "user" and then on the directory matching your network username
