Is any Internet traffic blocked in the residence halls?
Although the University strives to provide open, unrestricted access to the Internet for its students, it has become necessary to block certain types of traffic for security reasons. All IRC and SMTP traffic is blocked to prevent the spread of viruses and spam. Certain other ports used exclusively by viruses and worms are also blocked, but this should not interfere with normal network usages. All other network activity is completely unrestricted.
