How to open a UNIX-window:

NB!! Do NOT use Telnet!!!
If you have Putty installed we recommend using that instead (for security reasons). You can open SSH here:

Start -> Programs -> Putty

If no SSH clients are installed click here.

When the Putty-window opens an image like this appears:

1. In the field for Hostname (or ip adress) enter the name of the server you normally use. In most cases you can use jern.uio.no.
   
2. Press ENTER or click Open. You will get an message like this:
   
   
   
3. Press YES.
4. When prompted 'Login as: ' write your username and hit ENTER
5. You will then be prompted "your_username@HOST's password:" (e.g. vulkan@jern.uio.no) Enter your password and hit ENTER.

   If nothing happens in the next 5 seconds click the "Start SSH"-link.
   If everything works (that is you have an updated browser AND Java support) a window called "Mindterm" will open containg the text:
   
   SSH-Server: ssh.uio.no
   
   Press ENTER.
   The following text should appear:
   
   ssh.uio.no login:
   
   Enter your username and press ENTER.
   
   USERNAME@ssh.uio.no's password:
   
   Enter your password and press ENTER.
   The UNIX-promt will appear:
   
   [Username]@ulrik $
