10 November - can't reach the rest of the University from DICE
DICE computers this morning cannot communicate with computers elsewhere in the University. We think that IS has made an unexpected change to its DNS settings and we're trying to sort this out with them.
Meanwhile you cannot, for instance, reach https://www.ed.ac.uk from a DICE machine. Sorry; we'll get this resolved ASAP.
The cause has been found, the problem has been fixed, and DICE computers are returning to normal.
When we know of serious problems with the Informatics network, they'll be mentioned here or on Mastodon at mastodon.social/@infalerts.
If the Informatics network fails:
