The New Outlook

on Thursday, June 12, 2008 - 10:43 AM Posted by: ahudson

With increased e-mail security included in recent versions of e-mail programs and updates, some things once possible are no longer...
One quick example for your information:

Graphics displayed automatically within an e-mail are now considered a security risk and are tough to view on dial-up connections.
Graphics are now set to not display by default:
Microsoft Office 2007 "Help & How To" has a great web page which explains this feature and how to control it...

The complete list of Outlook "How To" information is located at:

Enjoy the Summer - But, take a moment to study the new Office 2007 Application Suite.

Microsoft's Training Home Page has many links to Office 2007 and Office 2003 training resources:

Campus Computing & Networking has worked through the spring to provide our faculty, staff and students recommended purchasing programs with Apple, CDWG, Dell and Gov Connection.

CC&N NOTICE: WIRELESS NETWORK UPGRADES

on Wednesday, January 09, 2008 - 04:38 PM Posted by: support@rio.edu

Beginning Thursday morning, January 10, 2007 Campus Computing & Networking
will be installing new firmware to the campus wireless network equipment
across campus

This project will only take 30 minutes per location, but will involve each
of more than a dozen wireless network access points across several buildings

While the upgrades are being done, that particular access point (AP) will
become unavailable while the code is being loaded and the wireless AP
re-loaded - one AP at a time will be upgraded

This does not affect any RioNET wired network computer in offices or
computer labs - just laptops and PDAs working wirelessly while we are
performing the system maintenance

The upgrade is necessary to resolve issues within the SECURE wireless
network with problems experienced with WPA key authentication

Thanks for your understanding
