Wireless is currently a test project! The extent to which IT-Services is supporting wireless connections is only to point users to the documentation. However, the Help Desk Supervisors can look up access points in buildings to see if the wireless connection is up. IT-Services at this time will not make any house calls to clients' machines. Also, the extent of the support time is from 8 AM- 5 PM.

Campus Pipeline Problems
"How do I log into Campus Pipeline?" |
|
Help Desk Analyst: | "You should log into Pipeline using your username and your 6-digit PIN. Your username is the first part of your UNCG e-mail address. So if your UNCG e-mail address is jadoe@uncg.edu your username would be jadoe. Your 6-digit PIN is the same PIN you use to register for classes." |
|
|
"I can log into UNCGenie but not Campus Pipeline, why?" |
|
Help Desk Analyst: | "If
you are able to log into UNCGenie theoretically you should be able to log
into Pipeline. Do you get an error message when you try to log into Pipeline?" Yes: If it's a disabled message have the user wait 15 minutes and then try to login again or transfer user to a password administrator if the account is still disabled after the user waits for 15minutes. No: Make sure the user is logging into Pipeline using their username and PIN and not their University ID# and PIN. |
|
|
"Why is Pipeline asking me to enter a password when I click the E-mail Icon?" |
|
Help Desk Analyst: |
"Periodically Pipeline may ask you to enter an e-mail password. If it ever asks this just enter your E-mail/Unix password. This password should be your University ID# + DOB. If that does not work you'll have to have your UNIX password reset if you do not remember to what you were using. (Have user use the Self-Service Password Resetting utility)" ***NOTE: THE PASSWORD THAT COMES UP WHEN A USER HITS THE E-MAIL ICON IS NOT THE PIPELINE PIN. THEY SHOULD ENTER THEIR E-MAIL PASSWORD. |
|
|
"I'm receiving an error when I click the E-mail Icon, "E-mail Stock folder not defined." |
|
Help Desk Analyst: | "This is a result of a Campus Pipeline upgrade which took place in March 2002. If you will hold for a moment, I can have a password Administrator fix this problem for you." |
|
|
"What does the Error List message mean?" |
|
Help Desk Analyst: | "This E-mail error in Pipeline means, you have an e-mail that has a huge attachment and the Pipeline server cannot handle the size of the e-mail. You'll have to log into your E-mail account through Pine or Netscape, read the message, save it if you wish, and then delete it. Once the message has been deleted you will be able to retrieve your e-mail through Pipeline." |
|
|
Question: | "What should I do if my Pipeline Account is Disabled?" |
Help Desk Analyst: |
"The Pipeline Account becomes disabled if you enter your login information incorrectly more than 5 times. Please logout of your account, wait 3 minutes and try to login again. If your account is disabled it should re-enable itself in 3 minutes." NOTE: If this does not work please send the user to a password administrator to have the account re-enabled. |

|
|
"When I double-click IE I receive a page that says, "UNCG Mobile" and it's asking me to authenticate." |
|
