How to Connect to the HomePage Server for Uploading Files

Back to list of servers


Windows PC Users

PSYCH DEPT COMPUTERS: If your Windows computer is a member of the PSY domain, and you login using your Departmental-assigned name and password, then the HomePage Server will be automatically mounted for you and visible under "My Computer".

Those having problems connecting to network shares on a Windows server from a Windows XP machine should follow these steps to stop Windows from automatically using an inappropriate username/password combination.

Connecting from NON-Psy Computers (i.e. UT Library, SMF, other departments or buildings)

  • In Window's Start Menu, go to My Computer
  • In the Address Bar (where you would normally type an address) click on the Down Arrow at the right-hand side.
  • Select My Network Places. (note that there are various other ways to get to this spot)
  • Select Add a Network Place. (this brings up the "Add Network Place Wizard")
  • Click Next, then select Chose Another Network Location, then click Next again.
  • Enter the server address \\homepage.psy.utexas.edu\homepage then click Next.
  • You will be prompted to enter your Psych Department User-name and Password.
  • Optionally, give this connection a name of your choosing, then click Next.
  • Click Finish.

Connecting from HOME with Cisco VPN Client:

If you try to use Windows to connect to Psychology File Servers such as HomePage from off-campus, the University's Network Firewall will block it. In order to get around the firewall you must install and run a program called "Cisco VPN Client".

IF YOU ARE HAVING A PROBLEM CONNECTING FROM HOME, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
