Welcome to Resnet!
Upcoming Maintenance
Beginning Friday, April 17, 2009, at 11:59 p.m., UT Austin, including the Residence Hall Network, will lose all external Internet connectivity while our single Internet service provider (ISP) conducts emergency maintenance to repair equipment that caused the Internet outage on April 14 at 3:25 p.m. While the maintenance is not expected to last more than 30 minutes, the service provider is reserving a two hour window.
