[dsg-eic_dirc] EIC DIRC Help

Hi Tyler,
I also noticed that the computer on the optics table is not connected to 
the network,
at least no by cable. Is it connected wireless? The computer needs to be 
connected
to the network in order to be able to
a) work from outside the room on this computer
b) copy the data to some save place for storage

cheers,
Beni
