On 2019-10-31 we've experienced issues with our user authentication. New devices were not able to connect to our network. Already connected devices were also not able to renew their connection.

Due to routing changes the dormitory Marschnerstraße was further affected by outages in the evening.

Due to the realization of the "Revised Directive on Payment Services" (PSD2), we are currently unable to import new banking activity into our administration system.

Therefore, new payments are currently not displayed in the usersuite, although they have already been received.

Of course, until the problem is resolved, there will be no blockages for financial reasons.

Update (2019-11-24):

The underlying problem could not be resolved, yet. However, we established a workaround that allows us to import all transactions (almost) automatically into our administration system again.

Update (2019-11-30):

The transactions of the last few weeks have been processed. Therefore the data in the usersuite should be up to date.

Due to the unusual circumstances we will resume the usual blocking of network access for financial reasons only after 2019-12-06.

We tried to contact all members being in arrears with payment via email. However, not all stored email addresses were correct.

Update (2019-12-16):

The blocking of network access for financial reasons happened on 2019-12-14.

On 2019-11-06 at 7pm the next General Assembly of AG DSN will take place at REC/B214/H.

There we will discuss some changes of our constitution and budgets for 2019 and 2020.

Members of AG DSN can find the full details and agenda in the invitation, but unfortunately only in German.

Due to many support requests we're offering an aditional office hour today (2019-10-19) at Güntzstraße.

Place: Güntzstraße 22, Room C1 (next to the club Contdown)
Time: 8.30pm to 9.30pm

To speed up the registration of all the new people arriving for the new semester, our offices at

• Wundtstraße 5
• Hochschulstraße 50

will be open all day on Tuesday (2019-10-01).

Our office at Borsbergstraße 34 will be open from 1 pm to 4 pm and from 7 pm on.

But not only new members are welcome, we are always looking for new volunteers. If you would like to see and learn how a network for over 3000 users is run, have a look! There will be tours through our tech rooms and fresh waffles.

The office at Hochschulstraße has moved from Hochschulstraße 46, basement to Hochschulstraße 50, ground floor.

We are currently experiencing issues with our hardware at Zeunerstraße. Further investigations on site are necessary to solve the issue. We will post updates here and on our twitter account.

Please excuse any inconvenience caused.

Contrary to the previous news there will be office hours at Wundtstraße today.

From 2019-08-19 until 2019-09-23, the office hours will change as follows:
The offices at Hochschulstraße and Borsbergstraße will be open at the usual times on Mondays only.
The office at Wundtstraße will be open at the usual time on Thursdays only.

You can still contact us via e-mail anytime. The offices might be open at other times, too, but there is no guarantee.

AG DSN wishes its members and all students a relaxing semester break.

Due to the international gathering of Studentnetworks - SNT 2019, there will be no office hours at Wundtstraße this Thursday.

In urgent matters you can still contact us via the contact form or email.

Today was a breakdown of the network in all dormitories from 4 PM till 8 PM. This was due to unexpected effects of the fiber optic work on our VM infrastructure. We are still working on finding out why our redundancy did not work as intended.

Meanwhile everything should work as usual.
