Notes

Excerpt

Note 1: Off-campus use requires the use of a VPN. (No VPN required for on-campus use, including use via RedRover or from your personal computer.)


Note 2: Windows: Domain is "Cornell". So your user name will look like:

Cornell/cornell/NetID

You will need to know this when using your personal computer, for example. (A CCB computer set up by ChemIT already knows the domain name.)

Note 3: Make a shortcut of the file share folder you need. Windows: Or, Map a Network Drive , per CIT's recommendation, below(after which you can easily see the total/free/used capacities of the share).

Note 4: Windows: If using Map a Network Drive, we recommend "standardizing" the Group's drive letter to "W:\". This will facilitate talking about this share among research group members.

Please consult the 'How To...' or 'Frequently Asked Questions' on CIT's website for more information:
