ucalgary.ca down?

[dimi]

Anyone else unable to access ucalgary.ca? I've been having problems all day logging in, now the whole website isn't loading.:dunno:

[Dr_Funk]

its working fine now...

[LongCity]

On a similar note, is the wireless at school fucked?! Internet comes and goes, for Macs, but the PC people seem unaffected.

[toyboy88]

+1 working fine all day (whenever i logged on).

[SaturnV]

It won't load for me right now, the main home page or "My U of C".

In my first year, it was fine. Last year and the first half of this year it was very spotty on my PC's (I had two in this period, and they both had problems). I just bring my iPod Touch now and it is spotty too.

In a different thread others were having problems as well.

[LongCity]

I should add, it's only been like this for me yesterday and today. Friends with Macs are having similar issues but when I sit in class, everyone with a PC seem to have no problems surfing the internet. I can't even connect.

[al-ti2d]

the internet keeps going on/off for me too LongCity.. its been happening to me ever since yesterday. I don't know if its just because I'm in the library tower or not.. its really annoying tho
I'm running on a windows laptop btw

[Dehvee]

Down for me too. I need to log in and look at some notes for my midterm tomorrow too. :banghead: :banghead:

[R154]

Down for me.

[sneek]

I have a mac and the wireless sucked today. Very on and off!

I really need to get some info off blackboard but it is down!

[chris]

down for me, i have a mid term tomorrow that i need to study for...

[colt22]

I have noticed for macs that it does infact periodically loop in and out of connectivity...takes usually 30 min to come back, weird.

[Dren]

its down...

[icky2unk]

especiall in haskayne, it was going on and off every 5 minutes.

In MFH I had no issues for 3 hours.

[krazykhoja]

I have an HP and it wouldnt connect in machall very well or in ST took 30 minutes for it to finally connect in my class...but in MFH I had no problems today (first time ever very weird)...

But I cant get webmail or my.ucalgary.ca or even www.ucalgary.ca to load at home...

Maybe server issues who knows....but I do wish some of our tuition money would go into getting better wireless on campus its shit most of the places lately...

[Dren]

its down when at home to

yup
5 friends and I had the same problem
seemed to stop around 430pm though

and i'm sure it wasn't just windows
cuz everytime i D/C i would search networks and AirUC didn't exist for like a minute

[badatusrnames]

Spotty all day for me as well. I was able to access webmail and blackboard earlier, now I can't... I need to grab some stuff off of blackboard too :facepalm:

[Dren]

:confused: :confused: :confused:

[vinc456]

Yes it's down. Webmail, blackboard, the website, etc. Everything is unavailable :(

[sabad66]

Works fine for me...ucalgary, blackboard, myuofc, pplsoft. But yeah the wireless has been flaky for the last couple of days. I'm on telus by the way..are you guys on shaw?

EDIT: Just helped out my buddy...if you absolutely need files off of blackboard or something tonight I can help you out, just pm me for msn and you can remote access my pc, log in and save what you want on my desktop, then i'll just send them to you.

[badatusrnames]

I'm on Shaw...

[flipstah]

Air UC and especially RezNet right now, is on the shits.

People are working on it as we speak and right now, I'm talking to one of them and we are trying to solve the issue.

I thought it was just my Mac...It took me forever to finish my research paper today because of the up and down of the internet

[badatusrnames]

It's funny how reliant it seems we've all become on having campus wireless and internet services...

[Dren]

Its both Mac's and PC's

It is affecting both Mac's and PC's for sure and right now, we're trying to pinpoint the problem.

Very inconvenient for everyone I know, but I'm staying overnight to solve this stupid-ass problem.

FML.

[badatusrnames]

^^Well then, how about less beyonding and more working to fix our probem!! Lets go! Thousands of students are waiting on you!

[flipstah]

Okay, AirUC SHOULDN'T be having a problem right now but RezNet is almost being resolved.

If you are having issues or a colleague is having an issue, please post your IP address, DHCP, and MAC address in that order please and we'll check what the issue may be.

Any help will be quite useful and would help us solve the issue. Thanks and do apologize for the inconvenience caused by the internetz! :D

[Dehvee]

Pretty sure people on Shaw Internet can't access ucalgary.ca but people on Telus Internet can.

[flipstah]

OKAY.

- RezNet is fixed for ~half of the people affected and basically a disable/re-enable of your Wifi card should do the trick. If not, please let RezNet know and we will investigate the matter ASAP.

- As for AirUC, we had some issues in the morning and it was resolved this afternoon.... :dunno:

- As for accessing "ucalgary.ca," it's working right now and I'm on my BB accessing my GOPH 375. :dunno:

[Wraith]

ucalgary.ca is still down for me :nut:

Mines still not working so I'd guess just for Shaw people then?

Weird though :confused:

[Shunsui]

I'm with shaw and it works for me...

[LongCity]

Take away funding for SU and put it towards internet efficiency. It's way more useful than they are.

[Dren]

not working

[flipstah]

I'm on Shaw as well and my BlackBoard, PeopleSoft and Webmail work.

[590221010]

I'm with Shaw and nothing is working for me still.

[Dren]

Get back to university and burn the midnight oil until the issue has been resolved! :P

[badatusrnames]

Works for me now :thumbsup:

[Dehvee]

Working here also!

[eb0i]

Nice, it finally works!

[icky2unk]

i kept seeing a note that the uofc computers got a trojan or something. So thats why it has been all fucked this week

[BerserkerCatSplat]

More or less. There's been a nasty trojan floating around (Reznet especially) that's been fucking with the whole system, we've been blacklisting MAC's left and right. The Ucalgary.ca being inaccessible was an issue with the direct link between Shaw and the University, I never did hear which end the problem was on.

[mowglee]

now u guys know what it feels like to be a SAIT student haha

[toastgremlin]

Is it Conficker or something? That thing's been knocking out networks at SAIT, too, from what I hear. Nasty stuff.

The upside of all this is that I get to see a handful of morons starting their own "airuc" ad-hoc networks whenever the infrastructure signal goes down.

A few years ago on campus, I'd have thought it was someone malicious running a packet sniffer, but now I just think it's people who don't understand how to work their computers. I wonder if anyone's sharing anything interesting?

I get this all the time, especially in Engg. Anyone know if it's a hardware or software related (ie. does the problem go away if you load up xp and try to load the internet)?

Wireless comes and goes for Windows and Linux machines too -- it just seems that a lot of Windows wifi tools don't alert you to it right away, but the Mac will pitch a fit and drop the interface as soon as it misses a couple of beacons.

I remember about 3-4 years ago, when wifi was first getting rolled out, that my 12" Powerbook would have constant issues trying to maintain a wireless connection in the education building (and once established, issues trying to get DHCP). My Eee running Ubuntu drops several times per lecture in MFH and even more in ST (and usually can't associate with the network and reports near-zero signal from it for awhile afterward).

I'd be interested in seeing if certain kinds of machines are causing more DHCP/wifi traffic than others - maybe some network card drivers are really "noisy" and making life worse for others.

That, and the number of guys I see using BitTorrent in lectures... :rolleyes:
