CLASS DROP BOX AND PICKUP BOX INFO (revised 8/26/09 by Tim Robichaud)

Prerequisites for students to access the pickup and drop folders shares
    • Student must have a valid RCS ID and password.  Information about RCS accounts is available at:  http://helpdesk.rpi.edu/update.do?catcenterkey=31
    • Student must be connected directly to the campus network, either through an on campus wired connection, an on campus wireless connection, or an external VPN session.

FOR PC

    • If not connected via an on campus wired connection or using an on campus public computer, start your VPN client, log into VPN.
    • Open My Computer and type \\hass11.win.rpi.edu\classes  in the address bar and hit enter.  If you are logged into the win domain (this would be public computers) your credentials will be passed to the server and your access should be set.   If you are logged in locally on your machine (the case for most student laptops and personal computers) you should be prompted for credentials.  Use your win domain/RCS credentials to log into the share:

      Username: win\your rcs id (substitute your username for your rcs id)
      Password: your rcs password (substitute your password for your rcs password )

    • If you are not prompted for credentials you may need to map a network drive to the folder in order to pass your credentials to the server.

MAP A DRIVE

  • Click start, right click my computer, click map network drive.
    for drive select any drive letter not already in use, for folder type \\hass11.win.rpi.edu\classes\ writ-2961
    BEFORE CLICKING OK OR CONNECT, CLICK ON  - “connect as a different user”!
    Username: win\your rcs id (substitute your username for your rcs id
    Password: your rcs password (substitute your password for your rcs password )
  • Click Ok
  • Check  - “reconnect at logon”. (note, when you log out or reboot, a window may pop up saying it cannot connect to all networked or mapped drives, close this. As soon as you are connected through VPN, you can just click on the drive in my computer and it will reconnect.)
  • Click connect.
  • The folder will open up in a few seconds
