In Residence
MacONLINE provides the telephone service and Internet connection for students living in residence and is included in your residence fees. In addition to the Internet connection, each student has a telephone with its own extension number,
call-display, call forwarding, conferencing and voicemail. Long distance service is provided to you at competitive rates for both North American and International calls.

From your laptop on campus
MacConnect lets you connect your computer to the network from common areas like the Student Centre (MUSC) and the Libraries. You need an active MAC ID account to login and there are two ways to connect to MacConnect: you can either plug your computer into a MacConnect port using a network cable (standard RJ-45 straight-through Ethernet cable, available in Titles Bookstore and other off-campus computer stores), or you can use a standard 802.11g wireless card to establish a connection to a wireless access point. An 802.11b card will also work, but we recommend the 802.11g card as this can increase your network connection speed.
Look for the maroon and white signs that mark MacConnect wireless areas.
For questions or connection assistance, call the Technology Service Desk at ext. 24357 or
email uts@mcmaster.ca
For detailed instructions on MacConnect and accessing the Internet on campus, refer to Clean Access section.
