6-TECH Tips: Is my Mac in the General Computing Network (GCN)?
Macs in the General Computing Network (GCN) have access to network space, University-licensed software and network printing, while those not in the GCN can only access the Internet and install software from MacApps.
Your Mac is in the GCN if it has an IP address that starts with 10.78. To see if your Mac is in the GCN, select Network from the System Preferences, then Ethernet. The IP address will be listed.
If your machine is NOT in the GCN and you would like your machine added to the GCN, please contact 6-TECH at 256-8324 or 6-TECH@uncg.edu.
