Campus Firewall

Posted on 2004-08-26

As part of their new security measures, ITS are blocking a large amount of services. Until we are able to get things unblocked (sometime next week, we hope), you can access irc by connecting to irc.warwickcompsoc.co.uk, port 3389 (SSL IRC is at bermuda.warwickcompsoc.co.uk:3389).

You can log into molotov by SSH, anything else (e.g. email) will require a solution like SSH forwarding. If you’re not sure how to do that, ask us on IRC, and we’ll be happy to help.

Campus network downtime

Posted on 2004-08-26

Due to a DOS attack being carried out on the campus network, services for the entire campus network are nearly all disabled, with the exception of web access. Further information can be found at the general “Campus Life” news page and at the ITS News page.

UPDATE: SSH and mail access to campus have been restored, so you can reach our normal IRC service using ssh.
