GIS Lab network

The lab network is behind a firewall computer, one of the servers that support instruction here. This computer has had a serious hardware failure. A second computer has been configured to serve as a replacement. The first machine will be rebuilt over the next couple of weeks, but in the interim you may experience problems in using the lab computers. Please let me know about such problems. I'll try to resolve them as quickly as possible.

The UML-EEAS GIS lab is a PC access center shared by EEAS and Mathematics departments, with 18 Windows XP workstations running ArcGIS 9.3, Mathematica, SPSS, and other GIS and math software tools. The lab is being configured as a mixed-use instructional, student research, and computational cluster system. Status and progress will be reported on this page.
