Q:  How can access and maintain my own web page?
A:  CLASNet provides limited web space through the I: drive.  Click here for information on editting and maintaining this space.

Q:  When I try to save files to the I: drive, why am I getting an error message stating that the drive is full?
A:  There is a 500 MB limit on web drive space per user. The quota limit is absolute and cannot be increased due to the physical limitation of the server's hard drive.

Q:  Where can I get more web storage space?
A:  You also have web space provided by CIRCA. This is available through Gatorlink.  Please point your browser to the following URL for information on the PLAZA web server:   http://help.gatorlink.ufl.edu/webserv.html

Q:  How do I access CLAS-provided web space from an off-campus location?
A:  You can use an FTP program to access the web server.  For detailed instructions, go here.  Scroll to the Off-Campus Access section.

Q:  When I log in, I can't see the networked drives that I should (e.g., Geog on 'Clascluster...').  What should I do?
A:  When this happens, try this:

1. Right-click on the red, capital N in the bottom right of your monitor to reveal a context menu.
2. Choose the top item "NetWare Login..."
3. This displays a login box, similar to the one you see when you login.
4. Click the Advanced  button on the bottom right to reveal four tabs.
5. Click the Script tab from the set of tabs revealed.
6. Make sure that there is a green check to the left of the item "Run scripts".  If there is not clikc on the box to insert a check.
7. Click OK. This performs the login process again and should fix the problem.

Q:  Why do I get an an error message stating that the drive is full, when I can see that drive still has more space on it?
A:  Some drives have a quota, a limit on the amount of disk space that a user may use.  By simply looking at the disk size and free space in Windows Explorer, you will see the statistics for the entire disk, not just your allotted portion. To check the true amount of space that you are using, open the I drive in Windows Explorer, select all files (ctrl + a), right click over one of the files (making sure that all files stay selected) and choose Properties. This will add up the file size for all files selected.

Q:  How do I connect a laptop to the internet in the Geography Department?
A:   If you have a wireless card, you can connect in most rooms with Windows to the wireless network.  You will have to log on the Walk-up Internet Port Authenticator using your Gatorlink account username and password.  If you do not have a wireless network card or wish to use ethernet, you need to do: 1). Ask the departmental contact person to submit your laptop's MAC address (not the wireless card's) to CLASnet for addition to the CLAS DHCP table via online form. 2). Install Netware Clients; 3). Plug-in your computer after your MAC address has been approved.

Q:  Why does the shortcut to a program open the wrong program or not work at all?
A: It may be that the shortcut that you have on the desktop or in the Quick Launch is pointing to the wrong location.

Try this to change the shortcut path:

1. Right-click the misbehaving shortcut.
2. From the menu that appears, select Properties.
3. Click on the Shortcut tab.
4. Click in the text box labeled Target: near the center of the dialog box.
5. Enter the path of the file, folder, or application for which you want to make a shortcut, or click the Find Target... button to open Windows Explorer so that you can navigate to the appropriate folder, where the program or file is located. (For example, if you want to point a shortcut to Internet Explorer you would usually enter "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" as the target.)
6. Click OK to finish.
