To connect to Nellie:
- From a Mac on the IU network, click Finder, then at the top toolbar, click GO. Scroll to "connect to server." Type in "nellie.journalism.indiana.edu" and click OK. User is "j341" and password is "J341user." You will see "archived classes" and "classes." Click on "classes," then J341, then Asher.
- From a PC on the IU network, right click on My Computer, select "map a network drive." To "map a network drive," right click on the "My Network Connections" icon and follow the dialog boxes. You'll type: \\nellie.journalism.indiana.edu\ and use the same passwords as above.
- If you are off campus using a dial up or other modem, and using Windows XP, you will need to be sure you have installed the VPN connection wizard from the IUware CD. This applies whether you are using a laptop or desktop, and is necessary for any kind of connection including modem, cable, wireless or other.
Once you've installed the VPN, log onto the Internet in your usual fashion. Then, double click the VPN icon on your desktop. This will seem as if you are logging on twice, but you are connecting to the Internet, then to the IU Network via the VPN.
Then, right click "My Computer," and select "Map a network drive." Type \\nellie.journalism.indiana.edu\ and change the drive letter to "none." You'll be asked for your user name (j341) and password (j341user). Follow the folders to J341/Asher.
- Any other problems, seek help from UITS, available by phone (812-855-6789), through Knowledge Base or in person in M086 in the Union. I believe there is help available at the Information Commons in the Main Library as well.
