Connecting Gaming Consoles to the OWU Network

Gaming consoles can be registered on the OWU residential (wired) network by providing their MAC address (the physical address of the console's network card) along with the student's name and ID number to the Faculty/Staff Help Desk. Turn around time can be as little as 10-15 minutes, but may be more depending on workload.

How do I find the MAC address on my Xbox 360?

To locate the MAC address of your Xbox 360 console:

1. Go to the System area of the Xbox Dashboard and select Network Settings.
2. Select Edit Settings.
3. From Additional Settings, select Advanced Settings.
4. At the bottom of this screen you'll see a heading called Wired MAC Address. This 12-digit sequence is the address you need to send to the Help Desk.

How do I find the MAC address on my PlayStation 3?

To locate the MAC address of your PS3 console:

1. Power up the PlayStation 3 without any disc in the drive.
2. Once the PlayStation 3 operating system has loaded, select "Settings."
3. Once you are in "Settings" select "Network Settings."
4. When the "Network Settings" list appears, select the first option which is titled "Settings and Connection Status List."
5. The physical address will be listed under "MAC Address."

Connecting Gaming Consoles to the OWU Wireless Network

Gaming consoles can also be registered on the BishopNet wireless network by following the same instructions available for computers. The console must support 802.1x security.

Can I connect my gaming consoles to the BishopGuest network?

Sorry, no. The BishopGuest wireless network is for guests of the University only. Students, faculty and staff must use the BishopNet network.
