Networking

What is Networking?

Networking is the design, construction, and use of a network (wired and wireless internet and intranet), which includes the physical components (cabling, hub, bridge, switch, router, etc.), selection and use of computer software and telecommunication protocol for using/managing the network, as well as the establishment of operation policies and procedures related to the network.

Remote Network Access/VPN

Howard‘s network can be accessed remotely when off-campus using our web-based virtual private network (VPN).

Users may login using their Howard email/network username. To access the VPN go to http://secure.howard.edu.
