Computers connecting to the NMH campus network must be registered before gaining access. You are required to have active and updated anti-virus protection software installed. Usually problems can be avoided if your computer has all the necessary critical updates installed:
For Windows PCs, go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install Critical Updates. For Apple Macintosh computers, select "Software Update..." from the Apple Menu.For longer-term computer health and for better support, you must maintain functioning and up-to-date virus protection software as well as the restore media provided by your manufacturer. Some computers do not come with restore media but will allow you to create it during your initial set-up. We encourage you to do this.
NMH finds that "Security Suite" software (software that includes a firewall, "zone" protection, and anti-virus software all-in-one) will often conflict with our network services and can make connections difficult. "Security Suite" should be disabled or uninstalled. Built-in OS (Operating System) firewalls and basic virus protection software are adequate.
