All- We have received reports from various faculty and staff at Birck in regards to the poor network performance today. I contacted ITaP's ITNS (Networks and Security) department to inform them of this, and late this afternoon I received a reply that the issue was caused from a bridging loop. A full-time engineer at ITNS looked at it, and thinks it should be resolved. I contacted a handful of staff, and received reports that network performance is "improved", but that Outlook still popped up messages that it was still "connecting to exch##.purdue.lcl". If you would, before you leave for the day, please reboot your PC. Hopefully, after a reboot on a more stable network environment, Windows and Outlook will be able to work without the pop-up messages. If you have any questions, and especially if you are still having issues tomorrow after rebooting your PC, please let us know via ECN Trouble Report: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/TroubleReport/ -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Al Mondero System Engineer Engineering Computer Network, Purdue University
