A comprehensive package for the analysis of social network data as well as other 1-mode and 2-mode data. Can read and write a multitude of differently formatted text files, as well as Excel files. The program we will be using to demonstrate concepts and run analyses during the lab, UCINET, is a windows program. It does not run on Macs without some form of Windows emulation. Mac users wishing to use UCINET are encouraged to install a full Windows emulator, such as Parallels or VMware Fusion.
This means that there must be a problem in some specific Ucinet library compared to the new versions of Wine. Finally, running a virtualization software like Virtualbox with Windows is a solution obviously possible, but it reduces system efficiency - unless you have a machine with a lot of resources (for example, at least 16GB of ram).
In order for you to get Internet access from anywhere on-campus or in residential housing ('ResNet'), you will first need to register the hardware (MAC) address of either your mobile device (smartphone, laptop or tablet) or Ethernet card (wired connection in some computers). This can be done automatically using the Express Registration Tool or manually.
To register the MAC address you must have either a valid UCInetID, or for those who don't have UCInetID, you may use the Guest Registration system. Details on how to do both are below.
Note: Peer to Peer (P2P) Applications Are Not Allowed Over the Wireless Network
Two Ways to Register
1. Express Registration
From your mobile device select the network 'UCInet Mobile Access' (or 'Resnet Mobile Access' if you are living in undergrad housing) and then open a web browser and try to connect to any web page. You should be redirected to our Express Registration ('ExpressReg') page where you will be guided through the registration process. Refer to the directions below.
If you are not automatically redirected, please visit the website https://oit.uci.edu/reg and select the 'ExpressReg' option. Alternatively, you may select the 'Device Registration' option to manually register your device (NOTE: You must have a UCInetID in order to complete the manual registration process).
The two most common reasons why users struggle to connect are:
- they have a Static IP set on their device (e.g. IP address of 192.168.1.4 for example)
- they have a Static DNS address set on their device (e.g. you cannot use Google DNS addresses like 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 during the Express Registration process)
Please ensure that your network settings are set to DHCP and remove these settings. By doing this, your device will automatically grab an IP address and DNS address from the network. Failure to remove these static settings will prevent you from connecting.
If you are still having trouble, please feel free to stop by our walk-in help desk at Aldrich Hall, Room 115 between 9-5, M-F or you may contact the Help Desk at (949) 824-2222.
How to Register

- UCI Affiliates, click on the Login and register with your UCInetID link.
- Your computer's hardware (MAC) address will be automatically detected and registered for access to our mobile network.
- After 1 minute you should be redirected to the Web page you were trying to access.
If you cannot connect, try again in a few minutes. Your computer may take a few minutes to update its network settings.
If you still can not connect, try rebooting your computer.
Visitor Access Restrictions
We offer limited access to visitors to the UCI campus. The following restrictions apply to visitors using UCInet Mobile Access:
- Visitor access to the UCI network is granted for a 24-hour period, and they may only register 7 times in a 30-day period.
- From Memorial Day to Labor Day, we extend access to 7 days because of the influx of visitors during the summer who attend the CAMP & COSMOS programs. Visitors who are here longer than 7 days will need to re-register their devices weekly.
- Visitor access is restricted to web traffic (HTTP and HTTPS), email (IMAP and authenticated SMTP) and SSH.
If you need longer access than what is provided by Visitor Registration, a UCI faculty or staff member may register you as aguest under their UCInetID for up to 4 weeks using Manual Registration (see Manual Registration tab above). For longer stays, you may be able eligible for a Sponsored UCInetID.
UCI also participates in Eduroam for visiting academics.
Other Wireless Networks on Campus
Besides UCInet Mobile Access, there are several other networks/SSIDs you can connect to. Below are the network SSID names, along with their requirements:
- eduroam - No MAC registration is required.
The following two SSIDs are visible on campus in the School of Health Sciences and the Gottschalk Medical Plaza. They are meant solely for HS users.
- UCIClinic-PSK - Registered MAC required and you must know your HS username and password (mostly used for mobile devices in the clinics). Non-broadcast. The address space is 128.195.144.0/25.
- UCIMCNetMD - No MAC registration required, but you must know the SSID password (used for medical devices - unfortunately OIT does not have this password). Broadcast. The address space is 10.255.106.0/24.
UCI Medical Center Wi-Fi
The UCI Medical Center (UCIMC) has instructions on how to join their wi-fi network in Orange. The SSID in Orange is called UCIHealth (the password is ucirvineaccess).
Subletting Your Apartment
If you live in grad housing and are planning to sublet your apartment, it's important to realize if your subletter is not affiliated with UCI (meaning they don't have a UCInetID), then they will not have internet access automatically.
In order for the subletter to have internet access, you will need to manually register their devices' MAC addresses under your UCInetID. We suggest you send them this link which tells them how to find a MAC address on many different types of devices, and once they provide you with the addresses you'll need to use our Mobile Access Registration tool to register all of them.
By registering their devices under your UCInetID, you accept fullresponsibility for anything they do while using our network.
Please do NOT submit Sponsored UCInetID requests for subletters as they will be rejected.
2. Manual Registration
Register your hardware (MAC) address from any computer already connected to the Internet.

64GB or more free storage space on your Mac startup disk:
- Your Mac can have as little as 64GB of free storage space, but at least 128GB of free storage space provides the best experience. Automatic Windows updates require that much space or more.
- If you have an iMac Pro or Mac Pro with 128GB of memory (RAM) or more, your startup disk needs at least as much free storage space as your Mac has memory.2
An external USB flash drive with a storage capacity of 16GB or more, unless you're using a Mac that doesn't need a flash drive to install Windows.
A 64-bit version of Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro on a disk image (ISO) or other installation media. If installing Windows on your Mac for the first time, this must be a full version of Windows, not an upgrade.
- If your copy of Windows came on a USB flash drive, or you have a Windows product key and no installation disc, download a Windows 10 disk image from Microsoft.
- If your copy of Windows came on a DVD, you might need to create a disk image of that DVD.
How to install Windows 10 on Mac
To install Windows, use Boot Camp Assistant, which is included with your Mac.
1. Check your Secure Boot setting
Learn how to check your Secure Boot setting. The default Secure Boot setting is Full Security. If you changed it to No Security, change it back to Full Security before installing Windows. After installing Windows, you can use any Secure Boot setting without affecting your ability to start up from Windows.
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition
Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Follow the onscreen instructions.
- If you're asked to insert a USB drive, plug your USB flash drive into your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant will use it to create a bootable USB drive for Windows installation.
- When Boot Camp Assistant asks you to set the size of the Windows partition, remember the minimum storage-space requirements in the previous section. Set a partition size that meets your needs, because you can't change its size later.
3. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition
When Boot Camp Assistant finishes, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If the installer asks where to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition and click Format. In most cases, the installer selects and formats the BOOTCAMP partition automatically.
4. Install Windows
Unplug any external devices that aren't necessary during installation. Then click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to begin installing Windows.
Ucinet Mac High Sierra
5. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows
After Windows installation completes, your Mac starts up in Windows and opens a ”Welcome to the Boot Camp installer” window. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers). You will be asked to restart when done.
- If the Boot Camp installer never opens, open the Boot Camp installer manually and use it to complete Boot Camp installation.
- If you have an external display connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac, the display will be blank (black, gray, or blue) for up to 2 minutes during installation.
