When a bank I worked for was going online, ‘they’ put a freeze on network changes in the executive building. Naturally, the network went crazy the day of the demo. Since we techs were not allowed to park in the building or use a taxi, we walked the 12 blocks with our gear. Tested the network starting at the 1st floor. By the time we got to the 11th floor, we have about 20 VPs on our tails. Walked into the demo room and on the floor was a Radio Shack hub. Unplugged it and the problem went away. Walked back to the NOC, got a real hub, walked back to the demo room and plugged it in. No one knew where the Radio Shack hub had come from. Magic I guess.
