NOTE: You must complete the steps listed for installing and
configuring your adapter before proceeding to register your computer!
Below are the instructions for registering your computer to access
ResNet. You must successfully complete this process to access any
online resources, the world wide web, or your e-mail.
1. Plug your Ethernet cable into the network wall jack or into your mini-hub.
2. Open your choice of a graphical web browser (i.e. Mozilla or Internet Explorer).
3. In the address line of your web browser, type “gatekeeper.plu.edu” and press enter or return.
4. A web page will be displayed asking for your agreement to
campus computing policies. If you understand and agree to these
policies click on the “I Agree” button to continue.
5. The next page will prompt you for your ePass information.
After entering your username and password, the system will validate
your registration and complete the process automatically (if you have a
pop-up blocker turned on, you may not see the screen that notifies you
that the process has been completed). At this time, you may also be
sent to a page that indicates that you need to install a patch or
remove a virus before we register your computer. Please follow
the directions on the page to correct the problem. Once the problem is
fixed, you may return to gatekeeper and proceed with registering your
machine.
At the completion of the process you will get a notice stating that you
have successfully registered your computer. You will then need to
restart your computer for the changes to take effect. Please
allow 5-10min. for registration to complete before restarting your
computer. Once you have restarted you will be able to access all
the University’s online resources and the world wide web.
NOTE: This process verifies your ePass username and password. For
successful registration, you must enter your correct information. If
you experience problems, refer to the troubleshooting guide in this
booklet or contact the Student Help Desk at x8250.
