Residential Networking

Supported Operating Systems


In addition to the recommended minimum operating systems we provide network support for the following:

Microsoft Windows XP/Vista


We support the final versions of the above named Microsoft operating systems.

Mac OS X


We support the final versions of the above named Apple operating systems.  Sorry, no support is available for beta operating systems.

*Some assistance for unsupported operating systems (including Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 and Linux) may be available.  However, supported operating systems will be given precedence and unsupported operating systems will be assigned a lower priority.

Microsoft Windows XP/Vista


We REQUIRE that an antivirus program be installed prior to registering for network access.  PLU provides a free program that is available for download at www.plu.edu/antivirus.  This link will also be made available to you at the end of the registration process.

We RECOMMEND that you regularly check for updates for your system by downloading patches, upgrades, and utilities from windowsupdate.microsoft.com or www.apple.com (depending on the type of computer you have).

We RECOMMEND that the OS recovery CDs are brought with the student to campus in the event that the machine would need to be repaired or reinstalled.
