These machines are in the CDOT area on the first floor of the TEL building.

Machine names, IPs, and Status

Please update this information as you work on the machines' configuration.

ireland PC T1045H - cubicle F 142.204.133.102 F8 installed, peterevanoff did debug build in 3:50!

Tip:

You can append the machine names and IPs to the hosts file (/etc/hosts on Linux and Mac OSX, c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows) -- do not delete the existing contents of that file, just add this text:

142.204.133.122		spain
142.204.133.121		china
142.204.133.123		liberia
142.204.133.124		newzealand
142.204.133.101		easterisland
142.204.133.102		ireland

After doing this, you can access the machines by name: ssh userid@liberia
