very strange, since all of austin seems to authenticate to the same place,
I didn't actually try the SanDiego login, but since they use Toshiba
Authentication Servers and we use something runnin on NT 4.0 SMS servers,
I assumed it wouldn't work at all.
The routers being down isn't just in south Austin, I'm in Cedar Park
(24.93.43.0) and just night before last I called in that their router
wasn't pingable. They didn't tell me what they were doing but I got a new
IP from DHCP and magically it all started working.
