Network services should be restored to the East Wheelock and RipWoodSmith clusters, and Alpha Delta and Chi Heorot fraternities by this afternoon.
System Administrator of Computing Services Steve Campbell said network services have been down since around midnight Sunday morning when lightening struck in close proximity to the East Wheelock cluster.
The lightening "took out some of the electronics in the network system" and left these residences without network services, Campbell said.
He said Chief Systems Engineer of Computing Services Stanley Dunten worked on the system from 1 a.m. until 5 a.m. on Sunday but was unable to replace all of the damaged electronics.
He said services will be restored by noon today if the necessary spare parts are available.
If the damage is more extensive, network services will not be restored until later in the day, Campbell said.
The latest information on the status of network services in these residence halls will be posted on the Computers-Outages account of BlitzMail bulletins, he said.
