NMR Extranet

Welcome to the NMRFAM Extranet (You must be on the NMRFAM network to access these pages)

Accessing the Extranet

The extranet is a location within the NMRFAM net that holds information specific to facility operations. It has limited accessibility from remote sites because of copyrighted materials located there. Any NMRFAM account owners can access the extranet.

To gain access to the NMRFAM extranet through your web browser, you can use a ssh dynamic port forwarding. This allows you to run your browser as if you were attached directly to the NMRFAM network, (e.g. extranet is accessible among other things)

ssh -D3456 <username>@login1.nmrfam.wisc.edu

3456 is an example, choose a 4 digit number greater than 1024
leave this connection open and set the manual proxy port in your browser to this number.

Setting manual proxy
Firefox:
Options->Advanced->Settings
click on manual proxy configuration
SOCKS host 127.0.01 port 3456 (or whatever number you chose)
For internet explorer, google: “proxy settings internet explorer”
try: www.proxyway.com/www/set-proxy-configuration/configure-proxy-settings.html
Windows use putty:
google: “putty” and download putty.exe
google: “putty dynamic port forward” for instructions

For other browsers I also recommend google for instructions.
