There's nothing like moving an entire telecom closet to reveal the "creativeness" of your users.

Like the extensive gigabit network connected via NAT to the rest of ours via a 10/half duplex port.

O.O

... how the hell did they get access to the closet in the first place?

They didn't -- the NAT was hooked up to one of our 10/half ports (they never bothered to ask to upgrade to 100), then threw lines everywhere.

One of my customers has a rack at XO Communications datacenter in downtown Manhattan. When it was initially set up, the datacenter connection was a 10mbit half-duplex. Only took a week or so for them to set it to 10mbit full duplex :(

Heh, ouch.

Yea, we had a 10mbit hub between two networks. To this day I cannot figure out WHY they did it, since they had to SPECIFICALLY configure the router to handle it that way, there was nothing else plugged into to the hub, and it wasn't like they were trying to limit trafic in a stupid way.

VERY weird.
