Connecting to your home area from home computer

Ole Moskaug

It's now possible to connect to your student-home area(H:), where your files are stored when you use computer labs on UMB. Read the instruction for getting connected from your home computer.

To access student-home area it’s firstly necessary to connect with VPN to student.vpn.umb.no. Guide for VPN-setup.

Afterwards open 'My computer' and do as follow:

1. Go to 'Tools'-menu

2. Select 'Map network drive'

4. In right field ‘Folder’ type as follow:
\\student01.stud.umb.no\home\st\yourusername

5. Click 'Finish'
