I guess I could try that. My fear is that it would simply end up being read by the same people you get when you call the DISA helpdesk, and that they would see who it was from, tie it to a closed ticket where they already told me they couldn't help me because I wasn't military or a government cont

The people at DISA you were dealing w/ aren't a Tier I service desk, they're the service desk that lower service desks open tickets w/. Think of DISA as a Tier I ISP and the normal .mil user as a residential user. See if one of your customers can put you in contact w/ their IT people (Usually a S

Thanks. That makes a little more sense to me. I know the questions DISA asked me when I called them, and I couldn't imagine just having the MIL-side email correspondent open a ticket directly with DISA. They would likely be more overwhelmed than I was. I'll talk to a couple of my customers who

One option is you said you have companies that do business with the DOD. Have one of them reach out to a contracting person about opening a ticket. That also allows there to be a claim that unblocking is mission essential vs someone trying to communicate with family. Normally the contracting peop

All that sounds very familiar, I'm 100% sure it's the same issue. As I said, there are DISA folks here, they might reach out and give you further steps. They did in my case, you just have to be more patient / on the ball than I was... Good luck! On Saturday, 29/06/2024 at 11:44 Mike Tindor wrot

Scott, Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, I think my situation is a little more dire, or at least involved. I probably should have said this before, but I had done TCP 25 outbound testing from our /23 to various .MIL MX's that I know were responding and could not establish a connection / get

There are DISA folks lurking here. I had a similar issue where our block was labeled as residential by their new firewall, and DISA front-desk isn't yet trained on this mechanism so they can't help. I escalated the issue to a lot of groups but in the end I gave up, too much bureaucracy. The issue

Hi folks, I'm looking for a DISA/DOD contact who feels that my issue has merit. I've tried the DISA Helpdesk and have been told since I'm a commercial entity with no affiliation with the DOD, they can't help me. The issue at hand is that our /23 netblock has lost communication (at least email TCP
