[underthesun]

I got mine set up by my mentor while other mentor-mentee groups are out for a photo scavenger hunt (ha!). Apparently he set it up using the unix computers in the bugle lab, where I had to type my password and etc..

Checked the CSE website yet? Maybe there is a way to set it up through the net, but i'm not sure..

 

[Inhuman]

But that doesn't answer how us other newbies get ours does it?

 

[underthesun]

probably next week, in the lab somehow. again, i'm not so sure.

 

[Capulet]

lol. erm.. yeah okay. ill check it out on monday. ask around etc. i dont think u can do it on the website.. unless someone can prove me wrong with a link? i didnt find it =/

It has to be done at the labs (can be done at home too, but needs a x server at home). To go any lab machine and login as 'sirius'. You can follow the rest of the prompts. This activates your account.

Yep do what Sunny said.

You are eligible for a CSE account (which means you get an email @cse.unsw.edu.au and computer access) if you are enrolled in a CSE degree or in a CSE class.

If you're just doing a CSE class you only get the account for the time of the class, otherwise it's there as long as you are

PS. New ppl read the Yellow Form rules and don't break em! If you eat or drink (or CSE staff can even _see_ your drink bottle or food) then you will get a warning. 3 more warnings and then it's $50. Save yourselves the hassle

PPS. Any questions about CSE facilities, computers, wireless access, stuff like that.. email the CSE Helpdesk, they are there to answer any Qs... helpdesk@cse.unsw.edu.au

Or check out http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~helpdesk/ at the Help & Resources section it links to some FAQs.

Which also makes you eligible for free UDUS funds and MSDNAA access

UDUS.. internet access?? Oo

UDUS is the UNSW's dial up server. Uniwide funds can come out of your UDUS account as well.

MSDNAA is a collection of MS software that academic institutes can use. CSE pays MS a fee each year, and all its students can download the software to use for educational purposes.

I had to put that in, incase I get sued for promoting illegitimate use of educational software here

As part of the MSDNAA license, you are allowed to keep the software installed on your computer even after you've finished your course. My WinXP Pro I'm using now I got from MSDNAA at CSE.

Does their version have product activation on it? Or did you... erm get around it?

CSE students can email SS/Helpdesk for activation/cd keys.
