Common Issues
On your personal device, make sure you are connected to eduroam and eduroam must be configured as a private network.
Norton Anti-virus and certain other anti-virus vendors will prevent outgoing SMB connections. Please use the UNL provided anti-virus software CortexXDR offered thru UNL ITS.
If Windows does not prompt you for credentials, or if you cannot browse the \\its-acadprt-unl.unl.edu network, the problem lies in the Windows configuration. Verify eduroam is a private (local) network, verify your system is fully updated to the latest Windows updates and then verify that the SMB client is enabled. Here are some Instructions for how to determine if your SMB Client is enabled, and how to enable it.
There are many caveats to windows printing. If you need help please email support@cse.unl.edu. You may be asked to bring your personal device (laptop) in to the support office if your problem cannot be resolved via email.
