It is set so you obtain network information such as IP addresses from the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.

Method of use

You cannot connect to an outside network simply by connecting your PC to an information outlet with authentication function.

To connect to an outside network, you must be authenticated by Keio ID of the Keio Single Sign-on system (keio.jp).

The authentication is performed through your Web browser, so it can be done without dependency on the type of OS (Windows, MacOS, Unix compatible OS).

The authentication method using Internet Explorer is introduced below. The method is basically identical when using another browser (Netscape, Safari, Firefox. etc.)

  • Proxy setting
    When a proxy is set on a browser, please set
    *.sc.itc.keio.ac.jp
    as the URL that does not use a proxy.
    It is not essential to set a proxy.
  • Method of starting use (authentication)

    • Start Internet Explorer
    • Instead of the web page (start-up page), the authentication page is displayed.
    • Enter your Keio ID (keio.jp) user name and password and select [Send].
    • If authentication is successful, the following message is displayed.
    • To refer to another web page, restart Internet Explorer to display and operate its window.
  • Completion method

    • Close the window you used for authentication.
    • A few tens of seconds will pass before completion.
