Last week's reports that iPhones were causing problems with Duke University's wireless network were ill-founded.Featured Whitepaper

The problem was actually a Cisco-based network issue, and that company delivered a fix that restored Duke's network to normal operation. "Earlier reports that this was a problem with the iPhone in particular have proved to be inaccurate," said Futhey, "Duke wireless network is fully functional, and the iPhone is fully operable within our environment." This is a good illustration of the way people can jump to conclusions. It makes sense to ask what recent changes have occurred when trying to diagnose a computer or network problem, but just because the installation of a new piece of software is followed by frequent crashing of a previously stable computer, it is not necessarily true that it is the cause of the problem. It may be simply that it creates a legitimate situation where another piece of software functions incorrectly. |
