Connecting to Slugnet
Before attempting to connect to Slugnet, you must disconnect yourself from the MIT network.
In the Walcott lounge, you can connect to Slugnet though the orange network cable in the spool or over wireless. There is also a 24 port switch in the control panel rack. This may be used but it is only 10 megabit. In the Goodale lounge, there is a 24 port switch in the Bemix rack and a white network cable by the Barco.
Set your computer to use DHCP. It is likely that your computer already uses DHCP, in which case you don't need to do anything.
Printing
An HP Laserjet 2100TN is can be accessed from Slugnet. It is shared with an HP Jetdirect card on port 9100. If you are on the internal network use juntonian.bemix as the address. If you are on the MIT network, use bemix.mit.edu. Printing might be restricted to east parallel (18.238.x.x) IP addresses.
Linux
Ubuntu
Click the system menu. Select Administration then printing. Double click on Add Printer then fill out the dialog boxes as shown below.
If you are on the internal network, replace "bemix.mit.edu" with "juntonian.bemix"
Mac
Go to Print & Fax under System Preferences and add a new printer. The dialog should be filled out as shown below.
If you are on the MIT network, replace "juntonian.bemix" with "bemix.mit.edu"
Windows
Open the Add Printer Wizard and select "Local Printer":
Next choose to create a new port of type "Standard TCP/IP Port"
A new window should pop up, hit next and enter bemix.mit.edu as the printer name. If you are not on the MIT network replace bemix.mit.edu with juntonian.bemix.
There should be a slight delay as Windows tries to autodetect the settings but fails. It will ask you to select the type of Device. Choose "Hewlett Packard Jet Direct"
There will be another delay as Windows creates the port. Hit finish to close the window. Next the Wizard will ask you to select the printer driver. Select "HP LaserJet 2100".
It should ask you what you want to name the printer, call it something useful like "Cocoa Lounge" or something.
My-junt
My-junt stores the music for bemix. There are two samba shares on the internal network, music and uploads. Music is the central music repository. Uploads is where you put music you want to make availible to bemix. Follow the directions below to use my-junt.bemix. The username is bemix and the password is the top work on the pipe in the corner of the Walcott lounge.
Linux
Create the directories /mnt/my-junt/music
and /mnt/my-junt/uploads
. As root, enter these two commands
mount -t smbfs //my-junt.bemix/music /mnt/my-junt/music -o username=bemix,password=[the password] mount -t smbfs //my-junt.bemix/uploads /mnt/my-junt/uploads -o username=bemix,password=[the password]
Mac
Go to Finder and click Connect to Server in the Go menu. For the server address enter smb://my-junt.bemix;bemix@my-junt/music
. Repeat the process with smb://my-junt.bemix;bemix@my-junt/uploads
.
Windows
Open any folder and type \\my-junt.bemix\music
in the address bar. Open another folder and type \\my-junt.bemix\uploads
.
Note: we have had some trouble connecting to my-junt on a windows computer.
