Connecting your Xbox, Playstation or other game console to the network

To connect your Xbox or Playstation to the campus network:
Xboxes and Playstations do not need to be registered in order to access the network. Just plug it into the network jack in your room.

To connect your Nintendo Wii to the campus network:
Because wireless network access in the residence halls is mostly limited to common areas, you'll need to provide your own Wii LAN adapter to connect the Wii console to the network jack in your room. Like Xboxes, Wiis don't need to be registered in order to access the network.

Problems connecting?

In the event that you experience problems trying to connect your game device to the network, please send an email help request to resnet@kutztown.edu and include the following information:

Name(e.g. Eric Cartman)
KU User id(e.g. ecart999)
Hardware (MAC) address(e.g. 01:02:03:ab:cd:ef)

You can follow the instructions below if you're unsure how to determine the hardware (MAC) address of your game device.
