IT help desk question for the IT guy's here.

Happy March Madness everyone.

My job has had server issues for like 5 straight days and we can't get s resolution with the help desk.

It's just my floor and when any of us work from home we have ZERO issues.

The issue is when we go to a site or use a platform we keep getting page not displayed.  We do all the Internet settings changes but nothing.  We can hit the refesh button and maybe possibly get the site to show.

But im baffled why the help desk has taken so long on what seems like an easy fix. Or am i totally missing something?

If its intermittent, then I would lean towards the Proxy (assuming you work for a company large enough to have a proxy.  If it were a firewall, then it would likely be all or nothing.  Refreshing wouldn't help.  Or a config issue on your pc connecting to the proxy.    But that is just a guess on my part.  

 

If your group's computers were updated or patched recently, might want to look at that.  Usually my laptop works just fine until the patch wizards "fix" it.

Update was awhile back. For some reason i have a hunch its bball related. Lol

They are throttling it down.

Bandwidth restriction like you are talking about would be difficult to do.  Although if more people are trying to access streaming sites such as ESPN, then that might slow things down.  I remember seeing a study about internet usage at work and how this time of year sees some of the heaviest usage.

First, this is not a help desk issue so don't get mad at them.   They are most likely passing the information onto whomever manages server stuff and have their hands tied as well.    This sounds like a proxy server issue to me.   Either overloaded or something else.     Like someone mentioned, it could be DNS issues/routing table as well.    Either or, your server guys (in company or cloud) should check some stuff out.    When you're at home, your VPN may be routing you through a different proxy server and/or just using your own internet connection for external browsing since you're at home.

I get the proxy issue but just curious as to the clog. Its the same # of people working as always.

It's possible your server stuff is outsourced and when that happens, you sometimes run into issues getting the right people on at the right time, especially if they are using techs that are also, outsourced.   Hard to tell.   Painful for users though.

    • I mean we had more of a defensive need in the 2025 draft than we may in the 2026 draft(so far). But we took a TE. We did it in the 5th round. Also he has overwhelmingly been our best TE to date. He and the FA pickup. I think you just have an extremely skewed view of TE's in the NFL. I would implore you to take a look at some draft history, depth charts and career progressions of a lot of those players. You are going to see ample examples of lower round guys being drafted and then immediately starting at TE. The reason it isn't rare is that there aren't many TE's taken in the 1st at all.  It's the same with other positions. You think that it's impossible to find a C outside the 1st? Well....most of them aren't 1st rounders because they rarely get taken there. How about OG? The NFL is mostly non-1st round OG's and the elite tier is almost all not former 1st round OG's. How about RB's? Pretty similar right? That's not just numbers, it's positional value historically. High value positions litter the first round. It's always been that way.
    • The "mob" was into a lot of things back in the day. They were fixing fights mostly but branched out into illegal gambling and booze during prohibition. Points shaving was mostly attributed to the coaches or players themselves but I'm sure the mob had a hand in it themselves. But they were making more money in the drug market than they could with gambling by the 1980s and gambling was getting legalized.
    • Didn’t the canes beat the Stars both times last year and once the year before?  We kinda own them.
