Limitation of Services to Unregistered Hosts
Summary: UCI does not accept connections from unregistered domains. On campus computers need to have a host name associated with the IP Address. Use the IP Address Request Form to register your domain.
Unregistered Hosts
UCI, like other organizations, is experiencing an increase in illegitimate use of the network, particularly with the intent of gaining unauthorized access to campus computer systems. Some of these attempts to gain unauthorized access have come from systems that do not have their hostnames registered in the Domain Name System (DNS). It has always been campus policy that systems connected to the campus network have their names registered in DNS.
IP Address Registration
We have an electronic form to help you register your IP address. If you need help, you can contact your Computing Support Coordinator or the OIT Help Desk.
