[Astro] [CAPT] Networking and IP addresses in Cripps North

[Phil Parry]

Hi all,

There was a change to the network configuration in our building last 
weekend.  Machines that had static IP addresses on the 128.243.x.x or 
10.156.x.x subnets before the NGN migration in February should now be 
back on them and working as before again. Machines not registered on the 
network or connecting via wifi will continue to get dynamically assigned 
addresses on the NGN 10.249.x.x subnet.

What this means in practice, is that if you used to log in to your 
machine remotely using its hostname, that should now work again.  You 
might need to restart your machine if it hasn't picked up the changed 
address automatically.  Linux machines should all be OK, but Windows 
machines didn't handle the change well and will definitely need to be 
switched off at the mains and restarted (hopefully I've dealt with them 
all by now.)

If you have a Mac connected via an Ethernet cable, you shouldn't see the 
802.1x login prompt anymore when you start your machine - let me know if 
you still see this.

Apologies for the disruption and the length of time it took to get this 
resolved.  Please get in touch with any issues.

Cheers

Phil P
