<p>Hi, for some strange reason, I am not able to connect to WolfieNet-Secure for 3 days. When I went to the Support center to fix it, I can connect to wireless once I turned on the computer but when I came back to my dorm, it doesn't connect at all. Right now I cam using an Ethernet cable to get wired network and it is really slow (it is suppose to be fast as the girl who helped at the Support Center told me). Does it mean that I won't be able to use WolfieNet anymore till the last day of school? What can be the problem?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>This sounds like an issue with your computer, not the University network. Wired connections should be faster when compared to a wireless connection.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nope hehehe. I have seen speeds of 80Mb/sec recorded in a Roosevelt building while the wired speeds are the typical 7Mb/sec. (Yes Megabits for both, I didn’t mix that up).</p>
<p>Possible causes of problematic internet.
1.) Your computer is infected with crap.
2.) The switches in your building are having issues(my floor did at one time, affected both wifi and wired because they go to the same switch) and client support was absolutely freaking useless because the status pages they use will show the floor as being up but in actuality it was down.</p>
<p>You could try calling client support and see what they say, they can arrange for someone to come and check out the issues, but you will want to ask roommates/floormates if they are having issues, if its just you, then it is just you.</p>
<p>It may just be a coincidence, but I’ve been having problems with WolfieNet-Secure for the last couple of days as well. It’ll hang on “acquiring network address.” I can connect to WolfieNet-Open fine, and I don’t have a problem with wired connections, other than the fact that it likes to timeout. </p>
<p>Also, it’s only certain areas that work. For instance, my dorm is in Gray College, Mendelsohn and it doesn’t work. Yet, I went to Campus Residencies and it worked fine with O’Neill’s WolfieNet-Secure. The same goes for H-Quad, both Benedict North and South. Yet, when I went to James College the other day, I couldn’t get past the “acquiring network address” either.</p>
<p>O yea, H and Mendy were having problems last week, seems like it still I guess.</p>
<p>Isn’t as bad as when Tabler went down for a whole weekend though.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Interesting. It’s the way it should be over here in West.</p>
<p>Tabler was always problematic though.</p>
<p>@Keleso:</p>
<p>So you can’t connect to WolfieNet Secure? Does it work for other people you know who live in Mendy Gray and H quad too? Does it work for you now? I am still using the wired internet and its so slow when I am watching youtube videos.</p>
<p>Youtube being slow is normal and is a unfair benchmark of speed :P</p>

This is what I just got

<p>My roommate and neighbor are having problems as well. I just submitted a work order.</p>
<p>Work orders will not get it fixed. You must call client support for them to put in the requests. Get as many people as possible to call it into client support and they will send up the network techs faster.</p>
