Back to work again. Didn't get as much list stuff done as I wanted, mainly because I couldn't find the scripts I can probably basically copy to finish up what we want to do. I did a little more load testing though and figured out some combinations may be possible. We may have to test on a few live mailings that aren't time-critical. Otherwise the day was broken up by just random stuff. Unfortunately more than I'd like I'm hitting the places where I need to ask people about things, having done most of the changes that can be pulled off without problems or working with other people. The problems from that are that everyone else is busy now that I need to ask them, and stuff needs to be explained, so stuff takes longer.

Sometime within an hour or so of when I was gonna go home Nick and Doug came to visit. Nick and I ended up going up to North Village to troubleshoot problems reaching servers, while Doug poked from the core end and changed stuff for us. Unfortunately we discovered bad stuff, in the form of packet size limitations and limits hit due to 802.1q VLAN tags and changing MTU sizes. Then there were 802.1q trunking issues. I hadn't installed much in the way of packet analysis software on my machine, so we had fun reading TCP dump output. And then trying to figure out AP associations. We then wandered around and I could at least get an IP outside every building. I also could see almost every if not every access point from outside the buildings too (and a building or so away). Most with pretty good signal strength. I'm gonna start blaming people bringing in 2.4Ghz phones on the connection problems people have I think.
