• yahoo messanger
• more current versions of instant messangers Kazaa lite
• Windows XP
• pagemaker
• Programs for gaming, able to play online games

Computer Owners:

• no, they are doing a good job
• I think the Norton Anitvirus should have a feature that can check e-mail atachments by right clicking.
• I think that everything is readily provided.
• UNCAP OUR UPLOADS!!!!! Seriously. Thats just stupid. I don't use it for piracy, and resent having snail like transfer times to my home and non university freinds.
• free print labs.. they are essential for many students, though i don't know if ResNET is responsible for that
• More info on the wireless internet access available.
• Firewall
• More wireless network coverage in the library, Nelson, Talley, student lounges in residence halls....
• I THINK YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO UPGRADE SOME OF THE SUN STATIONS, YOU NEED TO UPGRADE ALL OF THEM!!! THE ONE IN MY OFFICE IN DAINELS SUCKS!!! (MY OFFICE IS 131-H)
• Decent upload speeds.
• A firewall program, or free updates for one.
• Set up a software similiar to WolfCall except in reverse - allowing users to access the files on their hard drives of their computer in their residence hall, etc. So it would be possible to access work that is not on your K drive from a computer lab on campus.
• It would be nice if IT could at least refer you to a person that could help with software problems, I understand that IT is there for ResNet problems and there is a liability issue when assisting w/ software but for those who have software problems they often dont know where they can get help. It would be nice if someone could at least tell you how to fix the problem but allow you to fix it yourself, at your own risk.
• do free laptops like other schools
• Help over instant messenger.
• fire wall software from Norton...
• comprehensive service...it's nice to have workers who can come to your room and fix the problem.
• other norton products would be cool to get. If not free, maybe at a reduced price and upgrades from ITD for free or reduced priced for students.
• would like to see custom hostnames available for off-campus dynamic IP students/faculty
• I do not know if they handle this, but maybe a better email interface program to allow blocking. Getting spammed on the unity account is frustrating because there doesn't seem to be a way to block unwanted emails.
• Firewalls
• you should give a condensed version of what websites freshmen need to know, where computer labs are and other things that are not obvious but don't intersperse it with a bunch of crap that we don't need to know.
• along with norton, offer office XP (power point, excel, etc) as a program that we can use on our own computers.
• Quality Firewalls for students.
• Not sure who is responsible for this area, but my request is to have PHP supporting webspace on www4.
• Nortan Internet Security or Black Ice
• I have a few suggestions for the addition of 802.11b connectivity. I think I read that Talley Student Center has been considered for wireless and I feel that would be a very worthwhile initiative. Also wireless connectivity in the Atrium is is very sporatic because I think it may bleed over from the library, but I would suggest an AP to be placed in the Atrium for better connectivity. And one last suggestion, maybe a few wired connections in the Unity labs at a small table or two for the convienience of being able to sit down and use your laptop instead of a Unity machine since you may have data/programs on your laptop not available through Unity.
• A discount program for Resnet. Resnet is becoming very expensive, and me being the college student that I am, can't afford all of these expenses.
• discounted student rates on common/popular programs/OS's
• Wireless access for large common areas such as the brickyard, Bragaw Ampitheatre, Tucker Beach, Quad Courtyard, Courtyard of the Carolinas.
• prevent pop-ups
• no it's efficient for now. but security can be increased. and also the webspace given to each student may be increased in size. it's not enough for many folders. there can be a whole campus trnasfer trash to transfer the files of lerger sizes.
• Not that I can think of at this time
• Add a recent copy of Adobe Acrobat on the Computing Essentials CD. Computer labs should be expanded and print quota should be available for purchase in all labs. Printers need to be serviced more often.
• CD burning capabilities on the Unix-based machines.
• firewall services
• I would like there to be more wireless access around campus.
• More information on webspace development
• Microsoft Office for students would be great, for those students that computer did not come with Word
• logging onto the campus computers in labs take forever. Isn't there a way to speed up the time it takes to log in
• Plug and Play USB ability (for compact flash readers , etc)
• Access to windows prgrams on the network in the dorm rooms.. for example solidworks etc
• more prizes
• Get faster computers in the library to replace the old ones that take so long to load pages.
• wireless internet in dorms
• Linux, Windows, and Unix computers in all labs
• There should be a tech service on call that can solve hardware and os problems
• Not quite sure.. seems pretty good to me at the moment. If I end up needing something later I'll let you know.
• pretty good lot of help
• faster upload
• use chapel hill's system of registering cards, and only allowing one computer per room to help on the usage of bandwith in non-educational related activities (games and downloads)
• Alot of labs and other classes use things like labview, excel and powerpoint. I know a lot of students have difficulty with, or have simply never used these programs before coming to school. There may be some kind of assistance available for such students, and if there is then I think it should be advertised more. If there is not any such assistance then maybe it would be beneficial for there to be.
• Desktop Weather fom WRAL or The Weather Channel
• instant messanger computer help would be great
• Site licenses for software for student personal computers
• The current services are sufficient.
• It would be nice if ResNet offered a means by which students could voluntarily be held accountable for what they look at on the web. For example, they could offer an optional service that emails a summary of all websites visited by a specific student to someone (parent, friend, etc.) While ResNet is very useful, I have seen it hurt a lot of people by exposing them to things they should never see. And some means by which to deal with this temptation would be nice.
• This might be something farther in the future, but maybe they could start selling the surplus computers, fixed already so they can make more money than the computers just sitting at the warehouse.
• I think your service is already worth more than what we pay for it...Great job!
• print quota was always a problem... every time i really needed it and didn't have any, i didn't have the time to walk to talley and get it (all my classes are in weaver labs.. i'm biomed engin.) it would be a huge help if print quota could be added to my account by way of phone/email/instant messenger and deducted from all campus monies or just added to my campus account (the one that gets sent to my parents... i don't think they would mind a $5 every 2 months, espeically since it was projects and papers that are getting printed)
• Realm Kit Linux support
• I can't think of anything that you guys don't already provide.
• No, great service.
• Let us use money in our All Campus accounts for printing and especially copying.
• they should provide help for problems other than internet help
• no not that I can think of
• No ideas
• I think that everything is okay.
• A computer repair center, for those who do not have transportation to take it to an electronic store.
• they should inform you about wolfcopy before you have to print something on campus and can not. Information about where to get computer hardware if your personal computer should need to have parts replaced. (besides the go on the internet or look it up in the yellow pages answer)
• Perhaps free night classes on webdesign
• better wireless service, even though I don't currently own a laptop, especially the library bookstakes and the brick yard
• I think they do a good job and supply everything that is needed
• I think computing assistance at each of tha labs for at least certain hours would be very helpful.
• none that I can think of`
• email help
• they should have a program like Black Ice or some other program that will allow you to monitor people who are trying to hack into your computer. I had one person hack into my computer and put a virus that caused me to have to reinstall windows, and corrupted alot of my files.
• Better virus help. Almost everyone I know has some sort of virus on their computer.
• A secure webmail interface with a GUI that loads all at once instead of dynamically generated html pages. I hate to use webmail because I dont like to reload the pages to see changes. When I click a message and push delete, I want it deleted NOW, not after I go to a second page and confirm and then go back to the first page. I also want the ability to change the name of my ncsu email address. spam is a big problem. I want anti-spam software added to ncsu mail. Your servers should not accept 1000 messages from the same (external to ncsu) IP in a short time.
• to tell people that they can contact people if they need help on their computer
• Norton Antivirus doesn't work and crashes many systems.
• The ability to purchase print quota online!!!!! PLEASE!!!
• no, you guys provide quite a lot of services
• No, you do a good job :)
• individual firewalls (zone alarm, blackICE, etc)
• Nope...I think they're good as they are.
• McAfee Antivirus because I still get virus infections from Nimda, after installing Norton. Also, a firewall software would be nice, since I don't want people to hack my computer, and the IP's are static.
• Yes
• Norton anitvirus sucks! there are better out there. only problem with resnet i had was when the connecter in the wall died
• Wireless Net Access
• Far greater (ideally campus-wide) wireless access. At least provide it in Talley!
• Security prgms and firewalls
• Reserving custom host names for the next semester.
• help for computer hardware problems, not only network. to my knowledge this type of service is not available
• Virus Updates offered through Norton.
• Firewall software. There have been countless times when my computer has been tried to be hacked into from an on-campus IP address. If i didnt have my own firewall running, who knows what kind of damage might have been done.
• more wireless access and network availability in 2nd floor Leazar (design studios). wireless extending across Hillsborough and in commonly used areas like Court of Carolinas, grassy areas outside dorms
• Anything that is cheap and could help students use the network better. For an example, a firewall.
• EOS/redhat linux in ever lab, much more user friendly and easier to use!
• don't know what they do to begin with
• MORE WIRELESS COVERAGE : ) in the dorms and in the pretty areas around dorms and buildings. anywhere people study, there should be wireless access. make it a priority next year i'm so glad that Syme now has Nomad access!!!
• I think ITD should allow students more options for webhosting than they currently get.
• more assistance, let people know that you are there more because many students are apathetic
• maybe coming to the room to help set up
• an update for norton
• Faster Connections
• Frontpage in the labs would have been very very useful this semester. Frontpage extensions to student webpages would be cool but not needed.
• Pop-Up Stopper
• None that I can think of. Seems adequate at present.
• wireless acces in the dorms
• No, not that i know of
• I can't think of any in particular.
• no not that i can think of at this time
• nope...seems to be working pretty good
• I am satisfied with the services provided by the ITD
• Firewall software Better web hosting (PHP, SQL, email) More storage space on K: More cool free software on the Computing Essentials CD =)
• I have not been there so I cannot answer this.
• I wish I knew if I could use a program that the school has on my personal computer. Like maple or power point. That would be very useful.
• Network Mapping? physical map, connection speed checks, small stuff like that
• A campus-only peer-to-peer sharing program available to students.
• More memory space for each Unity account with no additional cost to the user.
• personal firewall
• I think that including more areas with wireless connections would be a great bennifit to the students. Often times I would like to use my laptop outside or in buildings that don't currently have this avaible.
• More help with viruses.
• The ability to plug in more than 2 ethernet cables/computers per room.
• DVD playing software on computers with dvd drives the ability to use compact flash adapters on windows 2000 systems
• NO everything is fine.
• 24 Hour Computer Service
• MORE WIRELESS ACCESS! WIRELESS TALLEY CENTER! WIRELESS DORMS! WIRELESS EVERYWHERE! Wireless currently installed is great--we need more.
• I find the current services to be more than enough.
• vireless internet, like at Chapel Hill would be a great addition. Also free printing like at Chapel Hill.
• BRING APPLETALK BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• My roommate is not very computer savy and she was not aware that she had to have anti-virus softwear on her computer (and that it wasn't automatically there.) Since she has gotten a worm, you all have spent hours trying to fix her computer and get anti-virus softwear installed. You could try making students more aware that it is a requirement and that most likely it isn't alredy "there" on your computer like a lot of things are.
• file sharing among students within legal standards
• Better software for KIOSK computers!
• updates on new virus
• not really, i can't think of any.
• Room assistance, talking to someone on the telephone doesn't always work. And if you're having computer problems...how is Instant Messaging gonna help?!
• none I can think of
• Free Anti-Virus for a Linux OS would be nice though its not nearly needed as much as Anti-Virus for other OSes.
• a pop-up stopper and an ftp program
• 24 hour hotline assistance for computer problems.

Non Computer Owners

• Ability to add programs.
• How to get affordable computers for those who can't afford them.
• check out lap tops out of the library
• I guess the services are fine since I haven't had to use them.
• I am very satisfied

Computer Owners:

• Keep up the good work
• I think the slow upload speed blew ass. I wanted a faster upload.
• ResNet has been very helpful since i have been on campus. I haven't found any problems with ResNet since I have been here.
• It would be nice if the computer kiosks around campus were able to run Internet Explorer or Netscape.
• UNCAP OUR UPLOADS!!!!! Seriously. Thats just stupid. I don't use it for piracy, and resent having snail like transfer times to my home and non university freinds.
• When I move off-campus, I want to have access to wireless internet while I am on campus during and between classes. I would like to have more information about this, or if there is information available, I would like to know where to find it.
• Faster...Faster...Faster!!!
• The cap on in/outgoing bandwidth needs to be removed. We pay way too much for ResNet for half of the bandwidth to be cut off from us!!!!!!!!!!
• The internet connection is awesome. If it was faster that would be even more awesome.
• LIKE I SAID BEFORE, PLEASE BRING BACK OFFICE FOR THE LINUX MACHINES!!!
• great!
• The kiosk computers hardly ever work or are very slow. The ones at the gym never work! Either fix them or do something else.
• Sometiems there is loss of bandwith.
• The limiting of the outgoing traffic was annoying but I understand why it was done and agree with the decision.
• #22 the link was not working.
• I like the ResNet service, althought when using instant messenger the service will lose connection a lot, so that's the only problem I can think of.
• very helpful when things broke on my computer
• Great deal for the speed and uptime.
• I would just as that you please upgrade Lee to 100Mbit or better for the comming year.
• fast internet is great. service has always been helpful. people at Hillsborough have always been knowledgable.
• Resnet is great!!!
• I love the internet service, I also use it for XBOX live. Outside of a few instances this year, it is very reliable. I know people off campus who have Broadband, and their service is going down ALL the time. One reason I stay on campus is for the fast, reliable service, and that's no joke.
• more personal space in the K drive would be very nice!
• Keep up the good work.
• ResNet is a good thing to have and it's very helpful. The only problem I've ran into is when ResNet is broken, it takes a long time for it get back started.
• you should highlight the question that I missed, I missed it two times, and almost gave up on submiting the survey.
• Overall i think resNet and the computer labs have beneifitted me grately. Sometimes i feel like I wouldnt get any work done with out the labs. The only complaint I have is that when working on very large projects that require extend stay in the lab you reach a point were the computer monitors are cleanecd by IT staff. The IT staff spray very strong chemicals on the monitor even when your are using it. This is very uncomfortable and it would be nice if the IT staff wouldnt clean the monitors with people working on them. I also think the tucker lab should have more computers even if they were not top of the line.
• ResNet at NC State is definately a very nice thing to have in the dorms. The speed exceptional service of the people that maintain it are greatly appreciated.
• I am satisfied with the quality of service provided by renet
• :)
• The only time I used a kiosk (imacs in the library) it would not log out of my email no matter what I did and was very unsettling. No matter how many times I pressed the Log Out buttons, no matter what someone typed into the email login page it would always take them directly to MY email. After that I never used a kiosk again.
• I think it's a very good system...I am a junior and have never had any complaints. Having the two internet connections in the room is critical for living on campus and getting work done from the room.
• great
• Great job. Keep up the system and you wont have any complaints from me.
• Hey guys :p
• Keep up the good work. Resnet is great!
• Resnet is great really had no problems with it at all this year it was never down, never had to wait to get anything done. Thanks it made my year a great success
• The kiosk stations suck. Whenever I have tried to login to my e-mail this year, it takes me to someone elses e-mail account.
• It's great... sometimes a little slow... but majority of the time it's fine.
• thanks :)
• I was very impressed by ResNet and by the help that I recieved when going to the help desk. The people there were quick and very friendly and I never hesitated to return when needed.
• this is a great opportunity to share my ideas
• more computers in high traffic areas (like the library) and advertise to more engineering people about telnet, cause it is really helpful, specially transfering files and accessing software (like maple).
• i'm good
• I love it.
• I did have a problem earlier this year, and the Resnet guys came by twice to fix it, very nice experience
• ResNet connection in rooms are too expensive.
• I've never had any complaints :)
• Other students who do not have a computer to use ResNet feel that it is not fair for them to pay for these services when they can not use them. I know that it may be hard to keep track on who uses ResNet and who doesn't, but it may be a good suggestion to let the students use their login information to gain access to ResNet in their rooms.
• ResNet has worked well to fullfill my needs, I do not believe it needs to be greatly changed or modified.
• ok
• cool stuff, allow apple airport base stations in rooms for wireless printing etc
• very fast connections which is great!!
• Again, one of the reasons I have chosen to live on campus is because of the dependable internet access. Keep it up!
• my computer was hacked several times. there must be more security protections for the resnet.
• I think ResNet is great. It's one of those things that makes colleges fun and enojable. Not to mention much more productive.
• Very quick and prompt service by Resnet when I need it! Technicians are very nice, easy to work with, quick, and knowledgeable!
• I like Resnet. You guys seem to have your stuff in order.
• there are basics on how to publish our own webpages, but not on design, or links to sites to show us how
• ResNet is a great service, it is fast and reliable
• You guys run an excellent network service, and it is one of the main reasons I choose to live on campus!
• I love the speed of my internet. It has spoiled me!
• The upload capability of my ResNet connection was absolutely below par. My cable modem at home can achieve a better upload rate (around 40 kB/s), versus the shoddy 15 kB/s I experienced in my dorm room this year. I do not overuse my upload capabilities, yet it seems my upstream was being throttled. This is not fair, and not what I expect from the University network. A typical upload would stall periodically, yielding a horrible average speed and lag spikes when hosting a temporary game server. This should be fixed.
• more prizes
• I do not see how you would tie in a cell phone service for websurfing. Keep them off our lines to save bandwidth.
• I think that our ResNet is very well organized and I appreciate the hard work that goes into it. I think that wireless internet capabilities should be largely pursued by the university. I wasn't aware that this was available and I think it would be very convenient to have.
• I find problems with the computer lab computers. They often do not run well and will not open some programs. I find this a major problem sometimes, especially during hte evenings when there are many people in teh labs.
• keep up the good work i hope i win a prize!
• Kosik machines network connections need to be sped up. Also the finish session should destroy all cookies used for webmail. I have tried to log on to my account several times from Kosik Machines and ended up inside someone elses mailbox. Webmail servers/connections also need to be sped up or upgraded to adequately serve the current demand.
• I love the connection speed and it is very very helpful with my classwork as well as helpful with keeping in contact with people. The ability to search places like the library webpage have been very helpful in working on homework assignments. Not only can I be in contact with people to help me from a distance, but I do not have to spend as many hours in the library searching for information. The kiosks are very helpful for checking a menu or important email or quickly finding some needed class information between classes or when I just don't have time to go to my room. The wireless could be expanded more, because many of us who have the capability to use it would like to be able to use it outside in grassy areas like around the dorms and the court of the carolinas to do homework, rather than the brickyard and classrooms. Thanks for all you guys put into it though!
• The services provided are excellent, and the reduction in uploads was a great idea for illegal file sharing.
• One thing.. i dont know if it was my computer or not, but when i installed the norton from your dist, the copmuting essentials disc, it didnt work. It wouldnt update at all. I tried to update it from the website, but I dont believe that worked either.
• the default window manager and menus on the sun workstations really suck.
• great survey
• Everything was good.
• nothing thanks
• Very unhappy that it was a required charge. I dont even own a computer.
• good quality i don't think that any other universities have as nice of a computing program as NC States
• i really liked it.
• It'
• I did have the free Norton Anti virus protection last semester. I got a virus that wiped out alomost my entire computer. I uninstalled it and got McAfee.
• i am happy with resnet at state, everything i wanted to say i said above
• none to make
• Add an option to number 28: "No, I knew it was available but don't use Windows or a Macintosh" It would be nice if the survey told you what questions your skipped intead of just telling you that you skipped one.
• Let's admit it kids, this upload speeds cap is ridiculous. If Hitler were alive today he would be out somewhere capping upload speeds.
• I lived on campus 2 years ago and I had an Ethernet card then for when i lived in Bragaw. When I moved in to Avent Ferry this year, I needed to buy a different adapter because my old one wasn't compatible anymore.
• Before I came to college, I never heard of ResNet. It is one of the biggest, if not the biggest reasons why I continue to stay on campus. The lightning fast computer connections (depending on computer speed) is a must in this get-it-done-as-quickly-as-possible society. When you want to get information, you don't want to wait for dial-up to connect. Continue to do that good work.
• Sometimes in Lee, but not often, we will have problems with accessing the internet. It seems like either our whole suite is out or just our floor. Any reason why for that?
• i really like the speed of ResNet, it has at times been slow, but on the whole it is a good system.
• I had to use the computer labs a lot this year for SolidWorks. I however, found it to be a lot of trouble because some machines weren't able to use the program. An error would come up when the computer started to open SolidWorks saying that Microsoft Office couldn't open. There were quite a few computers in Sullivan that had that problem as well as a few in other labs on campus (Mann, Tucker.) You might want to check out those problems.
• I am very pleased with the service. Help is speedy and informative and the connection is beneficial to my school and personal life.
• Last year, I really appreciated the speed of my Resnet connection, it was great. But this year, I have had so many problems with my internet connection, webmail namely, that I almost feel it was pointless to have Resnet. When I called a technician about this, especially since my roommate was having the same problem, they guy told us a few basic things like making sure too many programs aren't running, but even once that was fixed, I still found myself restarting my computer in hopes that my internet would be faster, but this was not always the case.
• The speed is incredible. It is one of the biggest factors for me living on campus.
• I installed the ethernet card and ResNet my freshman year and now I'm a junior so some of the questions about who installed it and where I bought the stuff are starting to fade from my memory. When I come to school I just plug all of the cords in and it works. I also don't look at the CD because it's just not helpful since I've used this system for so long. I think the keiosk things are funny and I feel ackward using them. The one time I used them was to check the NCSU homepage during a snow day to see if classes were cancled or not.
• Resnet is good, but I called them once with a computer question and they said that they onl deal with internet questions so I never called again.
• I own a Mac, and when I had questions about connecting it, most of the help I asked from the school didn't know what to do with it. It was great that you guys were available, and one guy even came to my room, but maybe if you could get to know about the Macs a little, it would help other students like me. Thanks!
• I was impressed with the ResNet Service overall, I didn't really like the cap on outgoing bandwidth because it makes using remote desktop more difficult. I think even if you limited it to 60-80 kbps or so that would be sufficient enough to cut down on the illegal file sharing/serving while still allowing people to telnet/remote desktop/etc into their computers on campus.
• ResNet has played a very important role in my success at NCSU. Doing computer based homework such as webassign wouold not be possible without ResNet. Thank you so much!!
• I have not had to use it,but ResNet has been very helpful for several of my friends.
• IMAP Mail was a lot slower and problem persistent this year than last year. I can report more than five times this year where IMAP mail was down.
• pick me
• ResNets speed is a huge asset and I feel blessed to have our internet connection.
• Overall a good job, only problem is webmail at certain times is very slow.
• I think that you should be able to get a new email adress through NC State server if your current email address is over run with junk mail. Also I think that NC state should build in a filter into their own system so that the crap emails never even reach a students inbox.
• The computer lab assistants are not always helpful or the friendliest people from which to get help. In particular I was in the CHASS labs at the beginning of spring semester to print out an article for class. The smaller labs computers were having so sort of problem printing, so after spending 65 minutes there trying to print. I was sent down to the main lab, where it took me another 40 minutes to print, because the lab attendant was in the hall talking to one of his friends. When I finally got to print, I had selected the option to print more than one page per sheet. For some reason this option did not work, and the lab attendant yelled at me for printing more than I should. He assumed that I had made a mistake in selecting the option, when I am absolutely sure that the option was selected. As a student, it should not take me two hours of my valuable time to print in a lab, and I do not deserve to be yelled at by a lab assistant who was not doing his job in the first place.
• Best internet source I've ever used.
• I really feel more comfortable about my computer being attacked with viruses because of the free anti virus software. I use the "Live Update" at least once a week to ensure that my computer is protected. That is a great service.
• Bandwidth is now severely limited. Uploading is way too slow. Takes forever to send even a document to my brother at unc. Impossible to host games now, and even play online games due to lag.
• I think the cost of ResNet could be a little cheaper every year.
• My service just stops sometimes, prety often, I don't know if it is my yellow cord or what. Whatever happens it throughs off my whole connection and I have to go in and reset it.
• Wireless internet should be added to all dorms.
• it should be more reliable, faster
• I'm ok
• Put the whole campus on the same LAN. Its better for games.
• most of the time the connection is good, but sometimes it can be very slow.
• Resnet was fast and a lot better than the dial-up networking my parents use at home. I prefer it and am glad it's available.
• Make known all programs are available to students free of charge (i.e. Norton AntiVirus). For example, students in engineering pay the computing fee, and I recently found out from a friend that b/c of this certain programs are available to us- She downloaded Windows XP (an authorized copy) through some school website.
• aaron is great!
• As far as I can tell they have done a pretty good job. At the begining of the year, they had to cut my port on after I told them it was off.
• Often application launcher in computer labs VERY slow... applications from the launcher are vital to do the work, and are only available in labs.
• Give me some money.
• Good job.
• The ability to purchase print quota online!!!!! PLEASE!!!
• I've had a wonderful experience using resnet this year, and it strongly influences my discision to continue to live on campus.
• have a nice day :)
• this survey sucks because i didn't answer all the questions and it made me go back and i had to answer all of them again. it should have remembered my answers from the first time.
• Thanks for coming by when my roommate and I DID need a little help. I appreciate it.
• ResNet was good
• ResNet is a wonderful service and is actually one of the biggest motivations for me to stay on campus.
• I think you guys do a great job, especially at move-in!
• It's a really good connection and in the three years I've been on campus I havn't had any problems or complaints about ResNet.
• It is overall a very fast and efficient connection.
• I had no clue about the free anti virus
• Resnet guy Keith came and put in a new one. for people who don't know much about computers, the service appears to be awesome. i'm the resident IT in the suite and usually end up fixing the comps in the suite. But awesome job on trying to make it easy for everyone to understand!!!
• rawr
• Should educate students better about security
• looks good
• It is super!!!
• Should think about spcaing users out over the network in case a server goes down you can push the overflow into the remaining ports on other servers.
• ResNet has been very reliable this year...thanks
• Res Net is cut way too slow. We should be able to transfer files, (not everyone uses it to transfer bootlegged software etc...) Sometimes parts of projects, films being made here, or other things need to be sent... and 1 KB/sec doesn't cut it for the money we pay!
• Wireless in the study lounges of dorms, and throughout the entire library would be a good idea.
• The Windows machines would be a lot more desirable to use if they were faster and did not have so much running on them at once.
• The network is one of the reasons I decided to attend over a university that used cable internet.
• Add ResNet to the cost of the room. Quit saying the room costs x amount of dollars plus you are required to sign up for ResNet. It looks better if the room costs y amount of dollars with ResNet included. Or, just give people the option of not getting ResNet (or let them just get the phone). Not everyone has a computer, not everyone needs there own computer with all of the availble labs. Its not fair for these people to have to buy ResNets services and not use them..
• Better anti-P2P support but don't let it get in the way with other things. A lot of people like to setup servers for websites, games, etc that are LEGAL but get handicapped from P2P software. I know that ResNet tried helping this by capping upload speeds but this also hurts other things. OR...somehow get student population to disable all P2P uploads.
• no junk mail should be recieved from anyone, like surveys, travel agents, etc....I recieve stuff that I stongly feel that "you " all sale our addresses to. Webmail is for professors, colleagues, and parents to send mail to us not some "spring break special" company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• I think that an education program should be set up to teach students how to conserve bandwidth. Student should be taught how to use file sharing programs in such a way as to reduce network congestion. File sharing programs should not be blocked.
• I hate Linux and Macintosh. Get rid of them. All of them.
• Over-all the people who answer questions and help students with their computers have been friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you!
• I like resnet service. The email server change-over wasn't too much of an inconvenience, and the only problems I had were due to times when the network was down which therefore caused the internet to fail to work. The "friend" who installed my ethernet and setup resnet for me is extremely good with computers and linux. This is why the "friend" had so many references in the questions. Without my friend, I would have probably consulted the IT help desk.
• you should make powerpoint available for download.
• really like the speed of internet connection
• i really enjoyed being connected to the internet at all times...it helped me out a lot...except for pop-ups!! a program to get rid of that would help
• The bandwidth caps that have been instated are incredibly limiting and prevent efficient usability of the networks if you have to transfer something off campus.
• the anti virus software was hard to find. Have you seen the way computer games pop up when you put the disk in? where they give you items to click on in a window, and u pick the one you want? (check out warcraft3/starcraft in particular). it would help if Norton Anti-Virus was in a good easy to find location, or at least big red letters. I had a hard time finding it on the disk, and had to do fancy computer people things to get it.
• I really liked ResNet, except for sometimes my Webmail didnt work
• There were several periods over the year where all resnet activity stopped. I could not make any transmissions. It hampered my ability to do work and this should be prevented.
• I'd like to see a large format printer available for a charge.
• THIS IS TOO MANY QUESTIONS IT SHOULD BE ABOUT 10 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS TO GET ACCURATE RESULTS
• everything's great
• Wireless should be available in Dorms.
• resnet is a great addition to the dorms here at ncsu
• Yes, the fall semester, my upload speed was that of around 400kb. Then The beginning of Spring, it was at a piss poor 20kb (and sometimes it would've died). 80 bucks a semester for a crap upload is absurd and should be immediatedly fixed as this is the only and severe issue i had with resnet.
• i have nothing to add
• Resnet is good as it is.
• ResNet is great! :O)
• Res Net was very helpful in my academic success this year.
• Other than being kicked off of the internet many times over the course of the year, i found no problems with the Resnet service
• Great service to the students
• none!
• I think it is ridiculous how the residents of Avent Ferry have to remove the hubs this year, just because they will not be needed next year. We did not install the hubs in the first place, so why should we have to remove them? And then you are going to charge the student if they are not returned to the RA, please, it should not be our responsibility. It sounds like someone does not want to do their job - what they get paid for.
• Promote Mozilla over Netscape, they use the same code, but Mozilla is a few versions ahead, and it doesn't have advertising crap built in, also Mozilla Mail is better than Eudora in almost every way that I have yet seen, and it is also completely free.
• Can't think of any
• one thing i found annoying was when i would go to print (in the computer lab) a lot of the times the printers were down or jammed. oh and how come a lot of other universities have free printing and we have to pay for ours.
• I have enjoyed living in the dorm this year because of the Internet service because it is great...I will miss it next year!
• I like that one can apply for a custom hostname.
• all in all very fast and well connected
• Many bandwidth issues the school faces could be greatly alleviated by creating a campus-wide sharing system. Such sharing is possible and used frequently through Windows' own sharing protocols, but a searchable peer-to-peer network for only computers connected to the school LAN would cut down significantly on bandwidth currently being used for worldwide P2P applications, such as kazaa.
• GOOD JOB!!
• I like it
• Worked good. Thanks.
• I called upon ResNet to help fix a problem I had with my internet connection, and what they told me to do didn't fix anything, although they were very helpful. The problem fixed itself after a few days
• I liked it a lot.
• ResNet is efficient and reliable, and priced very competitively compared to cable / DSL services off-campus. I hope that this will remain the case. Were the service to increase dramatically in price (to more than approx. $110 / semester), it would not be fair to continue the practice of mandating ResNet for all residents. On the subject of peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P): The University has a responsibility to its students to allow free and fair use of the campus network, which includes the legal application of services such as Kazaa, Morpheus, Audiogalaxy, etc. I encourage the IT staff of NCSU to support their student customers and take a hard line against the legal scare tactics used by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and other groups fighting copyright violations. According to current laws, many of the files accessed via P2P services are illegally shared
• I have been realtivley pleased with resnet this year, it was reliable and for the most part fast.
• I wish that there was a MY_NCSU page that each student could login to, and from that page, it would show each student what courses they had with their prfessor's homepage right beside of the class. Also, WebAssign, WebCT, and WolfWare, Submit would have links on that front page of the MY_NCSU. This would stop the one hundred sign-ins that each student has to do just to go anywhere they need to go. It is not helpful, but annoying. Also, this would be very helpful to students, and therefore, students would be more efficient. Take a survey, I know this would help. It would not be that difficult to do. Many colleges that do not have the quality of computer experts as does NC State have something like this and I think it is time that State upgrades to a student-friendly computer environment.
• I thought that the connection was unbelievable, and for that reason I do not want to go home....
• I have one kind of anti-virus, but it expired. I wasn't aware there was one avaible through State, that information should be more widely publisized.
• Overall great service
• use a mac is not a viable option to solve computing problems.
• I liked that staff from IT/computing service help desk. They were very prompt and friendly.
• I love the fast connection. it's great!
• ResNet is a beautiful thing
• ResNet kicks.
• The main reason I would rather use Macs in the computer labs is because the Novell login on the PC's is ridiculous. Isn't there away I could avaoid having to log in until I need to print or access my unity file space. The Novell login just takes forver and constantly has errors. Seems like there could be abetter way, like the MacLeland login on the Macs.
• You guys do a bang up job. Your service and up time are phenomenal. Keep it up!
• I found it quite convenient that I could get computer help. My problems were always solved after calling the help number.
• I am generally very satisfied with the ITDs work, ResNet, the campus technology resources, and appreciate the work that goes into providing them
• i liked it! never really had problems with it!
• I'm really glad that Norton AntiVirus is available now for free to students. I installed it to my laptop here at school and my parents' computer at home, which I use a lot when I go home.
• I like using ResNet because it's very fast.
• Students need a mini-class about ResNet and all it can do and how to do it.
• keep our internet access unrestricted (dont limit downloads or anything else), and continue to keep it the fastest around. Keep up the good work!!
• Thank you for providing such a darn fast internet connection. But webmail is very slow. And maybe you ought to provide information about setting up a firewall on your computer.
• checking webmail is very slow
• resnet is really efficient. it works well with what i have to do.
• they do good.
• I like the idea of adding an extra data port to the rooms here at Avent Ferry to do away with the hubs. I hope you were planning ahead and are installing Cat-6 cable instead of Cat-5 to ease the future upgrade processes. I know you will eventually want to offer students something other than 10 Mbit connections to their rooms. See you next year.
• I think it would be advantageous to students if all labs on campus would contain the same software. I find it annoying to have to go to the COM lab in order to use VB 6.0 or Peachtree. I found it inconvenient, especially on weekends when the COM lab's hours did not fit well with my schedule.
• Windows XP doesn't seem to like the SMB network or I just can't get it to reconize that it's there.
• overall, great
• I didn't need any assistance in the spring semester, but today(May 20, 2003) when I needed some help with Resnet...the staff was EXTREMELY helpful!

Non Computer Owners

• could be a little cheaper....
• I didn't like it when it went down.
• I feel that my computer in my room is a distraction. I don't mind walking to the Riddick (chemical engineering) computer lab to do work. However, it was a little better when I lived in Bagwell, and I could just walk downstairs to use the computer. I really hate the fact that they are changing Bagwell (and eventually the entire Quad) to be for Scholar students (Honors/Scholars "village" or whatever it's gonna be called). It's a shame that the majority of people that cannot afford a computer in their room have to walk across campus to a lab, while other richer students who have such luxuries have the opportunity to walk downstairs to use any computer any time they wish. Oh well. I know that without knowing how to use a computer I would be lost in all of my classes except PE. I also wish that their was more opportunity for students to take out loans to buy a computer like they do at Chapel Hill, but I guess we could never be like the Tar Heels. Thanks for your time.
• thank you for having computer labs around campus
• I think this was a very good survey. There are some technological things I am not familiar with. But, having a computer lab at my dorm has been very helpful and useful for me.
• I have had a lot of trouble with the Wolfcall system of loging in. I understand that it still is being tested, however, 90% of the time, it does not work for me, so I try to aviod it at all costs. If it is installed in every computer next year, it requires more perfection
  none
• It takes forever to sign on to the Windows computers, is there anyway to make it go faster?? It would help me save time if it took only a minute instead of 5.
• Computers in Computer labs take entirely too long to load up
• I am very pleased with ResNet and what it offers.
• I feel that students living on campus who are not able to afford a computer should not have to pay for ResNet in the residence halls unless they get a computer and use the internet later. They used to not automatically charge every student and it is unfair to persons without computers to pay for internet service in their rooms when they do not have the ability to connect to ResNet in their rooms.

• I don't own a computer because I don't have money.
• Money is the my main problem.
• more convenient to do it through the campus conncetion
• I did not buy one...because mostly the computers on campus serve my needs.
• I used my roomates computer all semester which was connected to resnet
• I am in the process of getting one. I filled out a computer loan application. I recieved the loan recently, so I will have a computer for the fall.
• Because I could just use the school's. Because the school provides them and my roommate had one.
• I don't own a computer. I can't afford a computer, I'm here on financial aid. Again, I don't have a computer.
• The computer labs in Brooks and Leazar Halls meet my computer/technology needs.
• Right now I can't afford to buy one.
• I own a home in Fayetteville and that is where my computer is. I stay on campus half of the week and stay at home for the other half. I decided to leave it at home because I can use campus
  computers when I am staying on campus.
• I do not have the money to buy one right now and do not really need one because of the convenience of the labs.
• I don't have a computer b/c I currently I lack the funds to buy a computer.
• My computer (DELL) broke. The labs are an effective way of using resnet services.
• I don't have money for one
• too poor
• I don't have computer because they are very expensive and if I did, I would not feel comfortable with bringing it to school with me.
• I did not own one until April of this year. By the time I got it and had a way to bring it here, it was not worth the effort to haul it up to my dorm for 3 weeks of use.
• I do not own a computer because I cannot yet afford one.
• Didn't purchase one for this school year. But I will have my own personal computer in the Fall.
• I only use a computer to check mail and type papers every now and then-the cost of buying one is not worth it. Also I like the extra desk space.
• I have not brouht a computer with me to school because I can not afford one.
• I do not currently own a computer because I can't afford one.
• I was given a laptop, but it is too slow. I have had a computer in my room one semester, but it was just too much of a distraction to have it there. I don't really have the money to buy a
  computer now so the easiest thing for me to do is to walk to Williams, Tucker, or Riddick computer lab to use those facilities.
• I stay more off campus and chose to keep my computer there.
• I didn't purchase a computer because my roomate had one.
• I do not have enough money to buy a computer.
• i can not afford too
• I have not brought a campus with me semester simply because I do not have the money to purchase one. If I had the money I would definitely buy and bring a computer due to the fact that i pay for
  resnet regardless.
• My parents never bought me a computer and I can not afford to purchase one on my own.
• I'm broke as it is with such high tuition.
• Because the computer labs are ok
• I do not have enough money for my own computer at this point in time.
• I haven't brought a computer because I cannot afford one.
• too much money
• I am an international exchange student and it seems like too much of a hassle to buy a computer here, as I have no fixed residence for the summer and I would not know what to do with it.
• Bagwell has a lab so i didnt want to spend 1200 dollars
• becuase i wanted the most up-to-date computer for next semester when it is required for design school
• I have a computer. It is broken. There is no way for me to connect it to ResNet.
• IT is too expensive to purchase one at the moment.
• At this time I can not afford a TV.
• I don't own a computer because I was in architecture and they told us not to buy a new computer until our junior year. Also my parents couldn't afford one and tuition at the beginning of the year.
• Its a waste of time, I do all my work on campus computer lab computers
• i have one i just have not chosed to connect it to resnet because my computer is not fast enough to be able to work right, and i dont have that card in my computer that you are supposed to have.
  
  I don't own one because I can't afford one.
• Because it has not been something I deemed necessary in order to graduate and I have managed through the campus and friends to have one at my dispense when needed- the expense has also been a major setback.
• i am in the college of design and they recommend that you do not buy your computer until your sophomore year.
• I cannot afford one.
• I feel that the computer software available on computer in unity labs allow me to do my work without the need to buy my own. I am trying to save money as long as I can I want to wait until I absolutely need a computer.
• I plan on buying one in the summer, I'm real picky and I've finally found the right one.
• I am from Peru, and does not make any sense to bring a computer from there. I am also waiting for the last semester before graduating to buy my own one and take it back to Peru.
