I would be down for helping with that.

Folks should review this page and possibly add in anything else that
could help someone with little to no networking knowledge in
troubleshooting the issue or providing the rack list with more helpful
information...

Considering that I couldn't get a ping out to 172.30.0.1, I don't think
the issue was the DSL modem. I could hit Pony from my phone going
through Tmo. After returning to the space yesterday, the network was
restored.

I'm thinking that setting up a spare AP off of gorilla to only serve
DHCP with a gayeway of dot two might also be kind of helpful in these
situations. Sadly not everyone in the space is smart enough to be able
to change their gateway by hand.
