The departmental network connectivity in Bahen was restored this afternoon at approximately 2pm. The departmental networking gear was fine but there was a problem with a fibre patch cable in one of the Computing and Network Services rooms. We were fortunate that someone from CNS was willing to come in early or else this problem would have lasted until January 5.

The departmental network connectivity in Bahen has been disrupted since the early afternoon yesterday. It appears that the departmental networking gear is functioning properly but the connection to the University's backbone network is no longer working. The University's networking people have known about the problem since it started and we have been in contact with them since last night but since the University is closed there may not be anyone available to deal with this problem until it reopens.

The network connectivity in SS622 has been disrupted since the switches we were connected to were removed when Economics moved out of Sidney Smith Hall. A connection has been made to a new network but there appear to be hardware issues and the connection is not reliable so the machines in that room will likely not be functioning until classes resume in January.
