If NOCs count then I will tell you about
Dia***** I*******

They just gave 5 of the IPs allocated to one of my machines to another person on their network. 2 of those IPs belonged to my clients. Do you know what happens when 2 machines think they have the same IP? IT DIES and no one can access anything with it. I told them of this discrepancy.....about 25 hours ago now....nothing......so they are just going to waste 5 IPs because apparently they are ill-equipped to handle the discrepancy. It's a horror story because if I were those 2 clients, I would be looking for a new host right about now. (Luckily I kiss their a#@ so i think they'll stay)


Regards.

That's...the IPs die, not the machine of course...

This will probably qualify for the Horror Story of the day award:
