Network Performance Problems

We are experiencing network performance problems which are being manifested as slow response and/or difficulty in accessing external and internal web sites.  The performance problems are being caused by infected desktop computers launching attacks on other machines which, in turn, results in network congestion.

Communication Services is working with Desktop Computing Services to identify the infected machines and remove them from the network.

If you have any questions please contact Michael Shannon at 987-0371.
