Between 5:44pm – 5:47pm today we experienced an outage on our internet line. This outage affected all connections to the Internet. All operations should be back to normal. Please report any network issues to the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.
RESOLVED: Unplanned Outage: Brief Network Interruption at 11:10AM to Address Wireless Service Issues
UPDATE 11:23AM:
The network connectivity problems are believed to be resolved after the change made at 11:10AM. Initial testing and client responses have indicated that problems are no longer occurring. If you still are experiencing network problems, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.
UPDATE 11:02AM:
There are currently widespread issues accessing the wireless network on campus. Due to these issues, ITS will be making an emergency change at 11:10AM that will result in a very brief network interruption. The expectation is that all services will return in less than 5 seconds, however it will result in any in progress Dialpad calls being dropped.
We apologize for this interruption. Please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu if you experience any network problems after 11:15AM.

Resolved: Denison University Main Line phone number Unreachable
Update: 11:24 am EST

The Denison University Main Line phone number 740-587-0810 is now reachable and functioning as intended. Please contact the ITS Helpdesk if there are any questions.
