11/17 - 3rd floor wired network problems resolved
As of Thursday, 11/17, we believe the problems with the wired network on the 3rd floor have been resolved. Since initially reported 11/10, the wired network would show a loss of Internet connectivity over an area running from one studio up to an entire section (East studios or West studios, for example). If the network switches were restarted, the problem would clear for a period of time, usually several hours, but then reappear. Wireless connectivity, which is not connected to the wired network, would continue to work. This pattern suggests the wired switches may have been vulnerable to a network worm so that after a period of normal operation a worm-infected computer would find the switch, attempt to install the worm, and end up shutting the switch down. We have hardened the switches against this kind of attack and none of the switches have gone down since this was done.
Please let us know if there are any additional problems with network connectivity on the 3rd floor.
Flags to half-staff Monday 11/21
Governor Jennifer M. Granholm ordered that United States flags throughout the state of Michigan and on Michigan waters be lowered for one day on Monday, November 21, 2005, in honor of Army First Lieutenant Justin S. Smith of Lansing who died November 7 while on active duty in Iraq. Flags should return to full-staff Tuesday, November 22.
First Lt. Smith, 28, was killed when an improvised explosive device detonated near his dismounted patrol in Baghdad, Iraq. He was assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, Fort Carson, Colorado.
When flown at half-staff or half-mast, the United States flag should be hoisted first to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff or half-mast position. The flag should again be raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day.
Ticket sales, sublets, moving sales, etc. on College e-mail groups
In advance of the Ohio State game there have been a handful of ticket requests sent to College student e-mail groups but this is not the best place for them. Ticket requests, sublets, moving sales, and other similar commercial transactions -- offers to sell or requests to buy -- are best handled through the University's Marketplace site (http://marketplace.umich.edu) rather than e-mail. College e-mail groups are established primarily to support communication related to students' academic mission in the College. Marketplace was established to join University buyers and sellers without involving e-mail groups, groups where the great majority of members will neither have what you want or buy what you have and for whom the e-mail is spam.
There are currently dozens of buy/sell items on Marketplace now for Ohio State tickets so please post these requests there.
Thanks.

11/10 - 3rd floor wired network problems; DSWEST printer affected
There is currently a problem with the 3rd floor wired network that has, over the last two days, caused large portions of it to stop working. As part of this problem, the Xerox printer near the West computing cluster (DSWEST) becomes unaccessible when its network connection goes down; the East and Center printers have not been affected.
This problem was first seen yesterday and cleared, but was reported again this morning, cleared, and has returned. We are investigating the cause. The wireless network is not affected by this problem and we have not had problems reported from the 3rd floor computer clusters.
