Our lab is in the process of making a very significant networking change. Sometime over the next week or two (I can't yet predict exactly when) our main server, flowcyt.cyto.purdue.edu, will be getting a new internet address. I will be working very closely with our campus networking group, who are extremely good, and I don't think there will be any significant disruption, however, we must always be prepared. The most likely effect will be a very short time period (probably no more than 10 minutes) when the web and ftp site will be unavailable. Due to the way names and addresses are matched up on the Internet, it's also possible that some people will have temporary trouble sending mail to us and connecting to our web site once it's been changed and is running correctly. This would be due to the address change propagating through the worldwide system, and should not in any event take longer than two days. If all goes as our networking people expect, that phase should take no more than one hour, rather than a couple of days, but I wanted to give everyone a little warning of what's going on. I will send a reminder shortly before we make the change to flowcyt, and make sure I give out an alternate email address in case you have unexpected problems. None of the names of our servers will change, they will still be flowcyt.cyto.purdue.edu www.cyto.purdue.edu and ftp.cyto.purdue.edu The only change will be their internet address.
