Tuesday: 2899 and counting
Big move in weekend (previous) :: Room numbers Old Clifton Wing CHH and K Block Churchill (next)
Yesterday was pretty busy, but we now have 2899 people registered on ResNet, which is pretty good going as most people only arrived on Sunday. If you're having trouble connecting, please read the connection and troubleshooting guides then contact the ResNet help desk. If you're having difficulty getting through, please do keep trying - we have three lines going at any one time and are taking as many calls as we can. If your problem is less urgent, please email us, or if you'd rather have a visit we can arrange that for you instead.
If you asked for a visit
If you asked for a visit on your application form, we've written to you in your hall/house with the contact info for the ResNet team member who will visit. Please ring them to arrange an appointment.
Some of these letters got misprinted, with the wrong contact info on them - on Monday we texted the people affected with updated info, so please check your phone. Sorry about that - and really sorry to some of our staff from last year who have left but got the phone calls!
Hotfix 3 not installed
We had a problem (fixed on Monday) if you had Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7 Beta on your computer where the security checker wouldn't let you register, with this error message. This was fixed Monday - if you're still having problems make sure you are using a fresh version of the security checker from the registration system (don't use an old one copied on to your system). Alternatively uninstall IE 7 and use IE 6 instead.
Wills Hall: more ResNet packs delivered
If you were one of about 20 people at Wills who didn't get a pack on Sunday, we delivered some more on Monday afternoon - please pick up your pack from the hall.
Acer laptops
If you have a brand new Acer laptop and WindowsUpdate doesn't work - please contact us for help. Internet Explorer on these system was horribly broken and we've seen two like this now (pretty bad for a brand new system). The solution to this involves installing Firefox and/or IE 7 instead.
