The server that runs this site and a few smaller ones is being moved today. The new home is a temporary one and I'm not sure how good the internet connection is going to be. Hopefully nobody will notice much difference.

After remotely configuring the TCP/IP settings (always fun to get right without killing the network connection completely) the machine refuses to VPN to our main network through RRAS (but it works fine if done manually). Until we can get backup files reliably transferred the public sites are continuing to run on a backup server. We're trying to set up a different route for the data.
