Add/Modify a Computer on the Physics Network

 

In order to register your computer in our DHCP Table (and thereby gain Internet/Network Access), you will need to provide us with the following information. If you are modifying an existing entry, please leave detailed information on the reason for this update (new network card, faulty hardware, etc.) in the "Other Information" box at the bottom of the form. We will contact you once your request has been completed. If you have any questions, please drop by room 2121, 2148, or 2253.

If you are a member of QTP, please click here, instead.

Note that this form is for wired connections only. Campus wireless is available throughout the building (network name of 'eduroam') and requires a GatorLink login (any website you attempt to visit will bring up the login page until you are logged in). If you are a visitor and do not have a GatorLink account, please contact one of the program assistants to have a temporary (2-week) GatorLink account created. Or use the ufvisitor wireless network.
