Is there anything I should do to my computer before I arrive?
Yes! Before you arrive in the fall, make sure your computer is up-to-date with all
critical operating system updates and patches.
For Windows users:
Go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any detected Critical
Updates. If you have Windows, turn on Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).
For updates on Mac OS X:
Apple Menu- System Preferences- Software Update- Select Check Now- will
take you to the updates. To enable a Firewall on Mac OS X:
Apple Menu- System Preferences- Sharing- Firewall- Select Start
If you attach a computer that is infected or compromised to the PennNet network, your
port will be shut off.
