Public Access

To access the network, you must first authenticate (login) from a Web browser using your Net ID and password. Authentication is required weekly in on-campus housing. For public ports, authentication is required once daily and each time you connect from a different location. To authenticate, open a Web browser to http://www.byu.edu. You will be redirected to an authentication screen, and prompted to enter your Net ID and password. Public ports are available in the WSC, HBLL, TNRB and ESC.

Note: Static IP addresses and dynamic DNS are unavailable in on-campus housing (inbound TCP/IP connections from off-campus).
