Basically, you have to run cable from each room down to a punchdown block
in the vicinity of the one going to the repeater. Then you would crosswire
from the punchdown block that goes to the jacks to the punchdown block that
goes to ports on the repeater.
>B. How soon after I do (A) can I get IP addresses, and hostnames?
You can send mail to net-help@mit.edu requesting IP addresses. You should
submit the requests in bulk and follow this format:
Requested name Machine type OS Type
my-pc Dell Pentium Windows NT
Be sure to indicate what ILG you're representing.

Your house will be using the campus DNS servers since you will still be in
the MIT.EDU domain.

If you have further questions, please send email to resnet-help@mit.edu or
call x3-4101. You can make an appointment with a consultant if you'd like.
