2010/04/16 - Unscheduled Internet Outage
Shortly after 5PM this evening the University lost access to the Internet for reasons as yet unknown. Users will likely experience this outage as an ERR_DNS_FAIL or ERR_CONNECT_FAIL error when trying to access websites. When accessing secure (https://) web sites, your browser may report that the connection has timed out or the site is unreachable.

The problem has been reported to TENET's service desk.
We've been informed that a cable fault has been located, and a technician has been dispatched to attend to it.
Our access to the Internet was restored at 8:08 today.
