The residence halls at TAMU are all wired with one Ethernet connection per resident. These connections can be used to access the university's computing resources and the Internet. To use this connection, a 10/100 Base-T ethernet card should be installed in the student's computer, and an RJ-45 ethernet cable will be required for the connection.
