University College Plymouth St Mark & St John

Some resources, in particular your N: drive storage area, are normally only available when you are logged in to a computer on the College network. To overcome this limitation you can connect to these resources via the VPN from anywhere on the internet. To do this, point your web browser at the VPN's web address http://vpn.marjon.ac.uk/  Please be aware you are connecting to the network as if you were in UCP Marjon, therefore you should not leave your computer unattended once connected and always close your web browser when you have finished your session.

For a basic introduction to the Marjon VPN here is a quick video made available on YouTube.

The VPN will present you with a logon screen.  Logon with your usual UCP Marjon network username and password combination.

The home page contains some links to common data areas. To connect to your files area on the  N: drive choose the appropriate link, N: Staff Home Drive or N: Student home drive. 

Advanced users working from a secure computer at home might consider installing the NetExtender software which allows you to use your College network drives directly from your home computer rather than accessing files via a web browser as above.

When you have installed NetExtender, right-click NetExtenter icon in the tray, Preferences..., Connection Scripts, [Edit NxConnect.bat]

Copy the following script and paste into the NxConnect.bat file. Change the username as suitable.

net use n: /d
net use n: \\barbara\username /user:mjnet\username *

net use l: \\rumon\groups /user:mjnet\username *
net use m: \\polly\mjdfsroot /user:mjnet\username *
net use s: \\barbara\staffshared /user:mjnet\username *
net use x: /home /user:mjnet\username *
