Faculty and Staff Frequently Asked Questions
What is my e-mail address?
Your e-mail address is a combination of your username and the domain address. If you are faculty or staff, your e-mail address is: username@iupui.edu. The CNC uses this same account for most all computer access needs within the school.
Are there other training opportunities on the IUPUI campus?
UITS provides a free STEPS program. This is open for all faculty, staff, and students on the IUPUI. The other good resource would be the Office for Professional Development
How do I access e-mail from home?
Use Exhange web login link: http://www.exchange.iu.edu. Enter user name. A login dialog box will appear. Enter your user name and password. You will be connected to your personal e-mail account. You may also check the following Adobe PDF file OutlookExpressSetup.pdf which will help you setup Outlook Express for IMAP.
How do I edit my personal website?
E&T faculty by default have websites with the following URL http://www.engr.iupui.edu/~name. This site is accessed at the unix computer etsun (134.68.7.1) in a directory named www off of your home directory. If you have a UNIX account it most generally just your last name. These account passwords need to be maintained separately.
How can I report a computer problem or other problem to CNC?

How do I access my G: & H: drive from outside the CNC?
You may want to use the Microsoft Network option to mount a network drive through Microsoft's Network Neighborhood with the following syntax:
\\IN-ENGR-01.ADS.IU.EDU\<logonID$>
LogonID is your campus login account followed by the $. Your authentication for mounting this drive will be ads\LogonID
The path to the G:\ drive is \\IN-ENGR-01.ADS.IU.EDU\groups\folder --> where folder is the name of the folder that you have access to on the G:\ drive. For example CPT faculty may want to access the CPT folder, they would use this path: \\IN-ENGR-01.ADS.IU.EDU\groups\cpt
Then the question arises about slight differences based on your operating system. Here are some quick hints:
Windows 2000: You need to use the link below the mapping entry which is listed as "Connect using a different user name."
Windows 98: Will ask for authentication when the connection is attempted. A small window will pop up asking for the Login ID and Password.
Windows XP: Works very much like 2000, however, you may need to switch to the Classic View to figure it out.
We recommend setting up a VPN link. You will probably find that this is the only way you can mount your drives via a Cable Modem connection. http://www.engr.iupui.edu/cnc/VPNwithXP.doc
