Computer phones on the way

|

Innovative internet phones offered to incoming Dartmouth freshmen garnered national attention this week, but many Dartmouth students, including freshmen, remain unaware of the new technology that would allow them to use their computers as telephones free of charge. These internet phones are made possible by converged data and phone lines and will enable Dartmouth students to make unlimited long-distance and local phone calls from their computers, though international calls are limited to Canada. The system, which will function on both the wired and wireless networks on campus, is made possible by "voice over internet protocol," or VoIP.

Windows causes network lag

|

Supplanting fears that viruses would infect Dartmouth's network this term, a Windows XP laptop configuration causing an internet connection failure around campus has instead become the first major network problem of the year. Bill Brawley , director of network services, believes that the difficulties some students are having connecting to the internet may be caused by the same "bridging" problem that occurred in October 2002 when the problem caused major internet disturbances throughout campus. "If people are having congestion on the network or they aren't able to get connections, it's probably because they are seeing a bridging event in their buildings," Brawley said. A bridging problem occurs when at least one Windows XP laptop is used for both wireless and wired network use, while the "network bridging" option is enabled.
