[UCIMC-Tech] Can't access google on IMC's wireless

[Barry Isralewitz]

Hi Josh,


   Were you ever able to get to the network/firewall  problem in the  
IMC basement/Bike Project fixed -- glacial access to google-using-sites?
The last time I checked, I think there were still delays on sites that  
use google-metrics/google-ads
We at the Bike Project really need to use our off-site wiki site, but  
effectively can't because of this problem.
This is a real problem for us; starting to cause  larger and larger  
organizational problems.

   (Of course, if this google problem has been recently fixed since I  
last checked, please ignore, and thanks!)
