Use home laptop in school with network?

Postby coldfire54 » Tue Nov 25, 2008 4:14 pm

Hey, I was wondering. If I put the network cable into the back of my laptop will it let me login to the school network?

Assuming that you're using Windows (or know what you're doing in Linux), then yes.

You'll need to chose your school's domain to log onto. Either that or you could just browse to a fileshare, and give your username and password. RM is just built on Active Directory, so it's fairly easy to access from your own PC..

\\yourservername\yourusername$ will get you your documents.

For example, if my server name was cc3-sr-001, and my username was JDIsCool, then the path would be: \\cc3-sr-001\JDIsCool$ ;)

its quicker to map the files.... as their hidden.
But thats exactly what I used to do

Internet will still be filtered if anyone was wondering.
My way of getting past that was to use a VPN to my home :P

And best thing about using your own laptop is that theres no group policies downloaded to it. so your free from the clutches of the stupid administration!

JDIsCool$ :lol: :lol: HA HA HA!! :lol:

Anyway, back to the topic, if you plug the network cable into your laptop you can access all the drives as normal, creating a shortcut or mapping them.
Also, if you really wanted to, you could setup your PC as a workstation.
I would create another partition for doing this :P

Install RM software on your own computer... are you insane?? Who'd want to do that? :P

No no, not install the RM Software, just create another Partition (so you can still use your Local Computer as your own) but make another empty XP Partition part of the Domain :P

Or just use a VM, so you can sniff/examine it from the outside, while it's live...
