Got wireless?

If you have a personal router and are connecting it to our network, wait! Please visit the appropriate section for a "how-to" first! Incorrectly configured or connected routers are one of the top reasons your connection gets suspended.

Going somewhere?

When going on break, please take a minute to look over the "best practices" of what to do when leaving on break .

Need help?

It's always a good idea to have this checklist handy. Over 90% of the calls we get from folks who can't access the internet are "self solved" here.

UVa Targeted by RIAA

As reported by the Daily Progress (full article here ), seven users on the UVa network have been targeted by the RIAA for illegal music download files.

 The University of Virginia tracks which user uses each IP address at any given time (just like we do). As a result, they are able to forward these warnings on to the actual user(s) that downloaded the files.  If the users do not "settle", they may find themselves the targetof a lawsuit.

 We ask that if you have not actually "bought" a song or movie, that you not download it so we don't have to forward these same letters on to you.

RIAA files 23 lawsuits against NCSU

Pre-litigation settlements were followed by lawsuits this week for the University's illegal downloaders

 
The RIAA filed 23 John Doe lawsuits against students at NC State for illegal music downloading. The students are waiting to see if the judge who granted the subpoena will also allow the name discovery process to begin. Once the RIAA has your name, you can bet they will share it with the record companies, since the student/downloader did not settle in advance. 

 The whole story is here.

RIAA Wins Lawsuit

The RIAA has won it's first lawsuit by jury. The jury awarded 220,000.00 dollars (USD) to the RIAA for copyright infringement. If you are downloading via a peer-to-peer network, a media file that you have not bought the rights for, we'd suggest reading the CNN article .
