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 LabGroup Server will be automatically mounted for you and visible under "My Computer".

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 \\labgroup.psy.utexas.edu\labgroup 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".

• Read the instruction for CiscoVPN Client at http://www.utexas.edu/its/vpn/steps/vpn01.html
• Download the software from UT's Bevoware site. NOTE: a UT-EID is required to download. http://www.utexas.edu/its/bevoware/
• Run the CiscoVPN software and establish your secure connection.
• Connect to the fileserver using steps described in section above for "NON-Psy computers".
