FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions/User accounts, registration

Who is my admin?

List of admins is at http://www.sh.cvut.cz/info/admins.html. Their deputies should have the same permissions as admin, this varies from block to block. List of deputies is generally on the doors of admin, server's room or on the bulletin board of the block.

Admin would like to know my network interface card number (MAC address), what is this number?

Every network inteface card (NIC) has its unique 12-digit hexadecimal number (MAC address). MAC should be registered by your admin in database, so that you can have exclusive access to your account. MAC address could be found in Windows 9x issuing command winipcfg, in Windows NT/2k/XP ipconfig /all and in Linux ifconfig. Make sure, that in program winipcfg is chosen the right network card, that you want to use for internet access (Phone adapter is NOT the right). Your administrator needs number, referred as "Adapter's address", "Physical address" or "MAC address". Sometimes this number is printed on a sticker on network card. In case network card has less number of digits, zeros from left should be completed.

I asked admin to register me, but my registration haven't been fulfiled up to now. What can I do and who can help me?

If elapsed time from initial request is between 3 and 7 days (depends on time when the registration is done - at start of semester, first 3-7 days - it can take even a week), ask your admin, or send a mail to domain admin. Also you can participate meeting of clubs deputies.

What should I do, in case I want account on a certain server?

You could come to the registration room in office hours and registrate the account. New account has default password, that can be found on Personal page. After some time the account is registred and you will be able to login. You can also write mail to your admin and wait, until he/she registers the new account.
