Plugs

March 14, 2008 – 9:49 am

Did you know that a standard USB Device side plug, can fit into an RJ-45/11 jack? This was the whole problem behind a recent case. We tried to fix this remotely, but with no luck. After checking the clients site, we found that they had plugged the USB cable into one of the phone jacks on their all in one printer. Then we checked their other computer, and found viruses and misconfigured software. We are going to be rebuilding this system sometime in the near future. Remember even if the end user says “everything is plugged in” that may not always be the case.
