Following on from the university backbone networking problems earlier in the week, after which we have been experiencing significant problems with the wireless networks in Dartington House, we have experienced further networking problems today. We have been working closely with OUCS in order to track down the problems but unfortunately changes made today on our backbone connection at about 1:30pm resulted in a total loss of the unmanaged and printing networks between Dartington House and our other sites. This had the most effect on people within the building although could have caused difficult for some printing elsewhere. The problem was finally cleared about 4pm.
Investigations into the main networking problem are continuing and measures have been put in place both to mitigate the problems and assist in tracking the root causes.
These problems were resolved on Monday 15th March.
