Connecting to Your Mercury Folder
Connecting to your personal folder on Mercury is an easy process for
both the Macintosh and the PC user. Unless otherwise noted, these directions
will work in all labs on campus, as well as from a personal computer
in your room (assuming you have a working network connection).
PC Compatibles |
From a Lab:
Step 1: Open up the My Comuter icon on your desktop. The window
you see should look something like this. Take note that drive
R: is attached to your directory. |
 |
From your Room:
STEP 1: Right click on "My Computer" and select "Map Network
Drive."
STEP 2: Select R: as the drive, enter \\mercury\students as
the path for your folder. Make sure "Reconnect at logon" is checked
and click "Finish."
|
 |
| STEP 3: Enter username and password
information when prompted, and click OK. Locate your personal folder
in the listing, and create a shortcut to it on your desktop if
you wish. |
 |
Macintosh |
The instructions for connecting to Mercury from
a Mac, are exactly the same whether you are using a lab Macintosh
or your own.
STEP 1: Click on the “Apple” menu icon in the upper
left corner of the desktop, and select Chooser from the menu.
STEP 2: From the window that appears (see below), select Appleshare
from the first window. Next, click on Server IP Address and type
in "Mercury.Ripon.Edu." Finally, click on "Connect."
STEP 3: You are now prompted for your username and password.
Please enter the correct information and click "Connect."
STEP 4: In the next window, scroll through the list and select
the Students folder. If you would like this connection to be
made every time the computer starts, you must click the checkbox
next to the Students item. Select O.K. A network drive called
students will now appear on your desktop. Navigate through that
folder to find your personal folder.
