No need to try to connect your laptop to the LSCE network, it will not work!

The best you can do is use the eduroam or guest wifi network if your office is close enough to one of the access points.

Warning! You can't connect directly to the LSCE servers from the wifi network. If you need to do that, you will have to connect to a server outside LSCE first, and then back to LSCE

There is a lot of information available on the intranet, but you can only access it from a computer connected to the LSCE network: https://intranet.lsce.ipsl.fr/

Everything about LSCE computers: https://intranet.lsce.ipsl.fr/informatique/index.php

• Reading the mails with the webmail or Thunderbird
  • As soon as you have a LSCE e-mail address, make sure it is added to the clim or estimr mailing list
• Printers

You can only access it from the CEA network, and this intranet is the place where you can get information about:

• CEA buses
• Security training registration

Everybody working for CLIM & ESTIMR gets a computer that can be connected to the LSCE network. Please take the time to read the instructions below, that may help make your life easier

Read the notes in Windows 7 notes, especially the Basic Windows 7 Configuration section

If an application requests administrator's rights to install something or make changes to the computer, and you are sur it's not a virus, use the .\adminuser account and the adminuser password you got when your computer was configured, or ask the system administrators.

Depending on what you need to do:

• run a single command with the root access rights
  sudo command
• become root in a terminal
  sudo su -
• use the root password when a program asks for it. Be sure the programs has legitimate reasons to ask for the root password!

Sorry, you are on your own, but it's soooo easy to use, right?

There are probably lots of things you can do on your local desktop (displaying pdf, images, using a text editor, …), rather than directly on the servers. Never forget that your local desktop has access to the remote disks on the Linux servers.

Otherwise, use one of the Linux servers

• asterixN (ssh asterix, or ssh asterix.lscelb): use these servers for the usual day-to-day work (things that use less than 1 Gb, don't use 100% CPU for a long time)
• obelixN (ssh obelix, or ssh obelix.lscelb)

Send a mail to: help-lsce@lsce.ipsl.fr

Ask you advisor, who has probably already told you everything that was listed above, so you did not really learn anything new by reading this page
