IT-Support in dormitory
I’m the one who is responsible for internet-access (nowadays VPN and PPTP) in the dormitory WIST-Wienerstrasse for now almost 5 years. Besides the usual stuff (people forgetting to plug in the network cable) there has been quite a lot of “intersting” stuff. Some funny situations I can remember have been:
* windows running under “uncommon” locales: russian, spanish,… (and I’m not proud of being able to debug problems just because of the look’n feel of error messages ;-))
* computers connected to the modem-link (RJ11) instead of the ethernet-port (RJ45)
* people giving their client the ip-address of the vpn-server
As people are comming back to dormitory in these days my usual work starts again. ;-)
