Some reverse lookups show that is a DePaul ip.
http://wireless.depaul.edu/newhowto/linux.php shows the change to a
WPA-based dpuwireless to replace the old, seems depaulblue is still the
offically recommended one.

Not sure what the point is, we all have the WPA password so your
unencrypted (i.e., un-vpn-ed) traffic is visible for sniffing to all,
and with 20k+ people having access to the wpa password it is pretty
much public anyways.

And Sean: nmap -sP 75.102.230.0/23
As of 9:36pm, all that is up is the router.
