NetReg

Registering a Windows XP or 2000 computer

Completing the online registration

1. Make sure your Ethernet cable is securely plugged into your computer and the NetReg jack on the wall. (For a current list of NetReg jacks, see: NetReg Authenticated Jacks.) Turn the computer on.
   
   If you have the Novell client installed on your computer, select Workstation Only and login. (You will not have Novell access until you register.)
   
   
2. Open a web browser (Firefox or Mozilla is preferred). You should be automatically redirected to the NetReg registration web page, shown below.
   
   
   NOTE: If you do not see this web page, try the following:

   • Type in the direct URL: https://netreg-camp.d.umn.edu/register.html
   • Disable any firewalls running on your computer.
   • Try a different web browser (Firefox or Netscape).
   • Lower the security settings on your Internet Explorer.
   • Verify that you have a 10.5.x.x IP address
   • Remove any spyware on your computer (try Spybot or Microsoft Windows Anti-Spyware).
   • If the problem persists, contact your Tech Support person or the ITSS Help Desk for assistance.
3. Select "Windows XP or 2000" from the list. The QuickStart Security Wizard page should be displayed as shown below.
   
   
4. Follow the on screen instructions to download and run the QuickStart Security Wizard (qsbasic.exe).
5. Check the QuickStart Basic Security Settings results (a sample is shown below).
   
   
   • If all checkpoints passed (all green bars), select "Next" to continue.
   • If one or more checkpoints failed (red bars), you must correct the problem(s) before you can complete your network registration. Refer to the following table for details.
