<p>do mac addresses change? do we need to wait until we’re at orientation to enter our mac address in our comuputing account or should we do it now?</p>
<p>mac address is just a hardware address, you can set up you’re computing account now and it’ll be fine once you move in</p>
<p>Every piece of hardware inside your computer is identified by a MAC address. It never changes, and I suggest you register prior to moving into the dorms (there’s about at 30 minute activation period).</p>
<p>If you want to use your router in the dorms, you’ll have to register the MAC address of the router.</p>
<p>How many ethernet ports in each dorm?</p>
<p>2 per room, but I bought an ethernet hub for 10 bucks and then I had 6 ports. =)</p>
