Jae, Please see the following MSU Techbase article on that very subject. When in doubt, call the help desk. http://techbase.msu.edu/article.asp?id=1818&service=techbase -- Jeff Utter -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jae Walker Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 9:51 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Dead building switch port? Whom does one contact when connectivity is lost in a single office? I'm in Anthony (2100), and *one* office has a dead network port. Our IT department says that at least one other office on the same floor has the same problem, suggesting a dead port on the (new!) building router/switch. I'm reluctant to call the Help desk, given past experience... but have been out of the IT loop long enough that I'm not sure whom TO call. Thanks, folks!
