required to re-image before you can again connect to the College’s network. You do not
need to rename your computer.

For most users Rogers is a plug and play setup. If you have an already connected
desktop and are having difficulty please try the following.
You must first release the IP from your desktop before you plug in your laptop to the
cable modem. This is how you do it.
1. On your desktop computer
Click on Start
Click on Run
Key cmd
2. You are now in command prompt
Key ipconfig/release
Your desktop now has its IP released.
3. Connect your laptop to your cable modem
4. Once Windows 2000 starts on your laptop
Click on Start
Click on Run
Key cmd
5. You are now in command prompt
Key ipconfig/renew
You are done.
