Upcoming Work

  • Beginning on Monday, October 13th at 5:30 P.M. ETS will be performing network maintenance in Hitchcock Hall and Bolz Hall that will impact wired network connectivity.  Wireless connectivity will not be affected.  While IP addresses of computers may change, remotely connecting by using the hostname of a device will not be affected.  Any remote connectivity using the IP address of a device will need to be adjusted for the new IP address or better yet configured to use the hostname.  Please contact ETS for assistance if wired connectivity is not restored by the morning of Friday, October 14th
