By Laura Quayle | September 26, 2003

Windows causes network lag

By Laura McGann | September 26, 2003

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.
