In order to access the McNair Center resources, you generally need to be on the Rice network. Exceptions to this include accessing the dbase and webserver by ssh, and accessing the webserver (including the wiki) through the web. To access all other resources, you need to be connected in one of three ways:
#By a wired ethernet connection on the Rice campus, including through wired workstations at the McNair Center
#Through the Rice Owls wireless network (note: the Rice Visitor network will not allow you access)
#From off-campus (or through Rice Vistor, etc.) but through the VPN. Connection details are available here: https://docs.rice.edu/confluence/display/ITDIY/Connecting+to+the+Rice+network+with+VPN
