Wireless Services

We offer two wireless networks. The Public Access network is intended for guests visiting the university. It only allows access to web sites on the Internet. You will not be able to access the JU network nor any of our websites. The second, DolphinNet, is for our students, alumni, faculty and employees. It gives you the same access to our network as a wired connection. This means you can connect to your H: drive, other shared drives and printers. You also have full access to the JU websites.

To assist you in connecting to DolphinNet, we have set up a website with instructions. If you are running Windows XP or Vista, there is even some software that will automatically set up your computer. You do not have to be a Local Administrator on your computer to set up a wireless connection.

Configuration:

Before downloading the DolphinNet configuration files please read our  SOFTWARE DISCLAIMER. Jacksonville University is not responsible for any damage caused to your PC when installing this software. Users also have the option to setup their connection to DolphinNet manually by following the instructions provided.

All computers connecting to DolphinNet will need to be registered on the network. The process of registration will scan and verify that the user has the latest virus definitions, critical updates and patches and will need to be done at least once a semester. This will take place the first time you open your internet browser while connected to the DolphinNet Wireless Network. Step by step instructions on how to register can be found at this link:  Campus Manager
