Why is the Internet so slow?

Evergreen strives to provide students with a fast network connection in nearly all areas of the campus. If you are having connectivity issues, please contact the helpdesk for support. Even in the dorms area, you should be able to have reliable, fast network access.

Is it ok to connect my personal computer to the network?

Yes, absolutely! The College offers the TESCWireless Wi-Fi network for general use and the Evergreen Secure Wi-Fi network for students and employees.

I am having trouble reaching sites here, but they work fine from home or from one of the college computers.

Please check that you have not manually configured the DNS servers on your network connection. If you use an external DNS (such as Google DNS at 8.8.8.8), you may receive the outside address of one of our local servers instead of the internal address.
