goodnet User Manual (Data) ©ForeVision Systems Ltd. 19
Can I use music download sites, such as iTunes?
Yes.
Can I use Peer-to-Peer or file sharing services, such as Kaaza?
Peer-to-peer services are not supported. Remember that goodnet is provided for
the use of all members and so all users should respect their fellow students and not
do anything that would cause the overall network performance and service to
deteriorate. goodnet utilises sophisticated network management and monitoring
tools, and specific applications can be limited and also tracked to individual users.
The University reserves the right to prohibit access to goodnet for anyone in
violation of the goodnet Acceptable Use Policy. Members should also be aware of
copyright laws and restrictions when sharing music or video files.
Sometimes I can pick up a wireless signal from my room and then at other times I
can’t. What’s going on?
The goodnet wireless service is provided for members to get Internet access from
common areas around the College. Because some members’ rooms are close to
common areas (e.g. rooms overlooking the Quads, or above conference rooms) they
can often pick up the wireless signal. While this is not discouraged, it is not
supported. Wireless signal is affected by many factors, especially interference from
other access points nearby, and so the signal strength may change from time to
time. The system has been configured to provide maximum availability and
performance directly from the common areas themselves.
I need a fixed IP address to host a server. What can I do?
IP address (starting 172.24.x.x) for users on goodnet are provided dynamically as all
users are sitting behind a NAT firewall. The firewall is there to protect users’ PCs
and the video servers on the network. As such, the service is not designed for
members to host servers in the rooms.
