Stanford Network issues

[oublie]

Hi Folks,

Just a heads up, it looks like the stanford network is having problems. Issues with downloading and uploading work.

Maybe this is why people have been having trouble. Also maybe why our team only has 6k points today so far...

definately,

I've been trying to bring a new box online but i can't even get my first wu for it even after connecting to two different work servers.

Sounds like they've got a dodgy switch or something over there :p: But this kind of downtime poses greater problems when deadlines are so tight for some of the units, like the SMP's & GPU's - I can live with it if it all gets credited in a dump at a later date, but I might have to put on my Mr.Grumpy hat, if it lasts more than a day or two & my units are unceremoniously dumped as 'over-deadline' :hehe:

About 5 of us on PS3Forums began having issues around 9PM EST last night.

Apparently Stanford had taken some servers offline to upgrade/install UPS's. While they were doing this some type of network error occured.

Word is (assuming that everything comes back online soon) that you will receive credit for your WU's-it will just be delayed.
