Making Connections
Connecting to Nebula when you are not plugged into a UW ethernet jack can take a little more preparation, but it can also make life easier when you've just got to have that certain something from the office.
How can I get connected?
Any connection to the Internet will give you some functionality.
- You can use Outlook Web Access from any browser, although you will get the most functionality if you use Internet Explorer.
- You can transfer files to and from your own computer using the Nebula Filesystem Web Access tool.
In some cases, you can get full functionality.
- If your main computer is sitting at work, you can run Remote Desktop, which will establish a connection with your computer in your office. You'll have all your programs, printers and network drives.
- Using the Nebula Virtual Private Network (VPN) can get you a secure connection on the UW campus network when you're connected to the Internet using a non-UW network. This connection can give you your H: and I: drives.
