I just set up a computer (604e w/ Windows NT). I can't seem to get past the registration page. I registered it as r03rsaxvc.desktop.umr.edu, but even with ipconfig /release and /renew and reboots I still get the UMR IT page. Any ideas?

NT4? Daaaaamn.

That's sick and wrong. What did it ever do to you to deserve that?!

Your NVRAM isn't flipping random bits in the MAC address, is it? How fresh is your battery?

You might do a little research into where NT stores it's DHCP cache. Probably the registry. Getting rid of it all by hand may be the solution if the command line tool isn't working.

Does it work correctly with other OSes?

Sometimes it takes 10 minutes or so for the registration to kick in. Assuming you posted this 30 seconds after registering the MAC, try waiting a bit

If I remember correctly, the registration page should show the MAC address of the machine currently accessing that website in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

So, you could double check that you've registered the correct MAC address, and check to make sure that the registration page is seeing the same address as well.

P.S. You're not going through a router or something, right? Cause that changes a few things....

yeah, its still doing it. Any idea where to look in the registry?

i cant even get to the it page. so dick when u get time walk on down and get this set up for me.

Damn A., I knew you were lazy, but c'mon. And I'm having a hard time believing that nobody at your frat can figure this one out.

nvm its not my comp at all. we narrow it down to either the wall jack or the router that it eventually connects to. ill figure it out tomorrow.
