Problems with DNS for non-EECS/off-campus hostnames
We are experiencing problems with DNS resolution for non-EECS and off-campus systems (eg, calmail.berkeley.edu, apple.com, nyu.edu, etc …), and are looking into the problem.
Until this is resolved, you will experience difficulty in accessing non-EECS systems by hostname from the EECS network and may also experience problems access off-campus systems by hostname from elsewhere on Campus.

Redesigned Network Management Application is Live!
After [migrating the Oracle databases](/news/2323-iris-website-maintenance-5-8pm-march) that serve various IRIS applications, we put a redesigned version of the [network management application](/db/network/) into production.
The redesigned version maintains the same functionality as the previous version of the application, but sports a design that better integrates with the IRIS website and branding. We hope you’ll find it easier to read and navigate.
Feedback is always welcome, send any comments to help@eecs.

US-CERT Conficker worm report
We have scanned EECS subnets, with supplied tools, for Conficker infected hosts with negative results. We continue to scan but users should follow the instructions from US-CERT on all Windows hosts including those at home.
US-CERT encourages users to prevent a Conficker infection by ensuring all systems have the MS08-067 patch (part of Security Update KB958644, which was published by Miscrosoft in October 2008), disabling AutoRun functionality and maintaining up-to-date anti-virus software.
