Internet

The dormitory offers access to the Internet. The network group are all students living at the Nybrogård Dormitory.

The actual connection to the Internet goes through the K-Net association that delivers 1000 megabit Internet to most dormitories in Lyngby. K-net has a user limit of maximum 50 gigabyte traffic a month. Average usage of the Internet does not reach that limit. If you want a different operator than K-net, who does not have this limit, you can read more about how to on the K-net web page.

The price for being connected to the dormitory network can be found through this link.

Subscription

To subscribe to the network you must visit the network administration in their office hours. Here you will be established in the system and receive guidance. Notice that you also have to contact the network administration, if you move from one dormitory room to another.

If you for some reason cannot visit the network administration, you can print the registration form yourself following this link, and post it in the post box labeled “secretariat” in the GH block. Note that by signing the registration form you agree to the regulations which can be found by following this link. Please note that registering by printing yourself takes longer time than registering by visiting us in the opening hours, since the post box is checked rarely. Therefore please come in the opening hours if at all possible.

K-Net Utility

To log on to the dormitory Internet you need K-Net Utility. When you try to log on the Internet for the first time, you will be prompted to install this.

It is usually simple to install and use. Should you run into problems with it, you can follow the guide which can be found on this link.

Antivirus

You should have an antivirus program on your PC when you use the Internet. The network group recommends installing the free product Microsoft Security Essentials. The program can be obtained from www.microsoft.com/security_essentials after you have registered for the the internet connection. Alternatively, you can install Avast! Home Edition. This program is also free and can be downloaded at www.avast.com after you have registered for the the internet connection.

System updates

You should have the newest system updates on your PC. You can follow these guides on how to set up system updates on Windows.
