[Astro] [CAPT] IMPORTANT: Full day network outage, Cripps North Building (CAPT), Monday 3rd February

Mon Jan 20 11:14:47 GMT 2025

Hi all,

In response to a question I received today, I'd like to confirm that our 
servers/multi-user machines (captain, odhar etc) will be unaffected by 
this, as they're located outside of the CAPT building.  You will still 
be able to use them from home (via our VPN), or via the campus network 
from Physics or any other building as usual.

If you have any queries, please let Nick or myself know.

Cheers

Phil P
