Got a really, really odd scenario occurring at work at the moment, which I cannot for the life of me work out the reason behind.
We have three WiFi networks, two hidden SSID's one for internal clients, one for guests (with breakout to the interwebs only), and one for iPhones (long story, but essentially we end up using the wireless network in the cleansing and refurbishment process), this iPhone network is unsecure and broadcast, but can only break out to a pre-defined list of sites and IP addresses, and has no link to internal systems other than the fact that it runs off the same 8 AP's using the same Cisco 4402 Wireless Lan Controller.
Basically, the phones will connect fine, and if can visit literally anywhere except anywhere owned by apple.com. The phones appear to load the headers (or sometimes if you are lucky, some unformatted content), and then just give up. I thought this was possibly an anomaly with iPhones, but a random selection of phones (nokia N95's, HTC WinMo phones, etc) all exhibit the same problem.
I have tried locking the radios down to just 802.11b/g, 802.11g and even have tried adding static routing to the SSID on the controller, nothing works. So I tried connecting a phone to one of the hidden WLANs, same problem exists.
Laptops and desktops can connect to any of the WLANs (including the iPhone one) and visit the problematic *.apple.com sites without fail.
What in gods name can I check next, it's driving me nuts!
Help!
