You have several options for Internet access and remote access to the campus network. Please review each of the options to find the one that best fits your needs and budget. Please note that not all access methods are available in all areas. The Olin Business School neither endorses nor recommends the use of the specific companies or links listed below. They are included as a convenient starting point for you to evaluate various methods and providers of Internet services.
Some online resources (such as the databases listed on the Kopolow Library pages) are restricted to machines on the Olin network. If you do not use the Olin modem bank to connect to the Internet, you need to configure your web browser to use our proxy server. Please see the Proxy Server Information page for details.
