Request an IP Address

In order to get your computer or printer on the network, you need to request an IP address.

Please note: Users of laptops and other systems with wireless network capabilities do not need to register their devices here if they will be using the wireless connection with UBWireless. If you will be using the wired connection, you should fill out this form, and please make sure you give us the physical Ethernet (MAC) address of the wired connection, not the wireless connection.

If you have an Ethernet connection and software and would like to request an IP address for your system, please fill out all of the information below. Your request will be handled by the end of the following business day.

All incomplete forms will be automatically rejected. If you need to specify "OTHER" in a menu field because the name you need to enter is missing, please put the correct name in the comments section.

* denotes a required field.

If you would like to use DHCP (normally used for laptops and other systems that do not stay in one place, as well as personally-owned systems) instead of a static (fixed) IP address please check this box:

Requested Machine Name: *

Installation site: *
Room: Building:
If the building isn't listed, select "OTHER" and type the name here. Otherwise, leave this box empty:

System Manufacturer: *

Model: *

CPU type:

Operating System: *

System Serial Number: *

Physical Ethernet (MAC) Address — Please enter the Ethernet address with colons (:), dashes (-), or spaces separating the six hex numbers. Example: 00:08:0C:AF:E0:00 * [NOTE: If you do not know how to determine your computer's Ethernet address, click here or scroll to the bottom of this page for instructions.]

Owner's Name, or person you are working for: *

Owner's Department: *

Owner's Office Address: *

Owner's Office Phone Number: *

Requestor's EMail Address: *

Please check this box if you need any assistance to install this system.

Determining the Ethernet (MAC) Address

Windows

To determine the Ethernet address of a system running Microsoft Windows XP (or most other versions of Microsoft Windows), open a command prompt window and type ipconfig /all. The Ethernet address will show up next to "Physical Address…". Note that you will see more than one of these if your computer has more than one network card. In this case, make sure you give us the address for the type of network you intend to use, either the 10/100 network address for plugging into the wall, or the wireless connection address (commonly found in laptop computers).

Mac OS 9

Click on the Apple Menu, click Control Panels, and choose the TCP/IP control panel. Click on the File pulldown menu and the Get Info command. The MAC Address is labeled Hardware address.

OS X

  1. Go to Apple Menu -> About This Mac -> More Info
  2. Click on Network
  3. Make sure that Built-in Ethernet is selected under Configuration Name field. The MAC Address is labeled Ethernet Address.
