About 9:15am, Sat, 1/24, Info Systems became aware that the EMU Internet connection was very slow, or non-existent. There were other anomalies such as problems accessing DNS servers, web server and ftp servers. Ping commands worked for some hosts and not others. No web pages could be accessed from off campus and accessing them from on-campus computers was very slow.

Diagnostic procedures lead to a possible problem with the EMU firewall. The device was rebooted about 10:10am and all network services appeared to begin to function normally.
