consulting for company X. they ask me to give an assessment on the current state of their it systems. predecessor "knew networking".
oh the horrors i have uncovered. i guess at some point somebody hosed around with their "router", which lead to each machine on the internal network having between 2 and 4 ip's assigned on different subnets, but with no real routing. afaict, predecessor's extent of networking knowledge was 192.168.0.0/24 or bust. weird things happen when you have multiple workgroups named WORKGROUP on multi homed desktops, each with their own weird combination of hard wired addresses. firewall? yes we have a firewall. with all interfaces allowing all traffic to everywhere. and vlans. lots and lots of vlans. vlans for every conceivable thing. except tagged vs untagged seemed to be too much for the guy, so there's not a single actually used vlan.

wiring is spaghetti. no patch panels. just wires out from the wall/ceiling straight into switches. unlabeled.

and then came the accounting system. complaint of 'its taking longer than usual to log in to it, and the server is making a funny noise.'
steps to log on: boot up a windows 98 vm, wait 10 minutes, loginto novell netware client, fire up dos based client.
then the coffee incident. the magic blue smoke was released from the "server", thankfully the hard drive clicked through a 20+ hour dd_resuce session to give something to work with.

so the new IPX network is built from whatever i could get from the 36GB ATA drive, running as a newly installed Novell 4.11 server, virtualised on a ESXi box that happened to be half set up.

another tidbit

code:
#
# SYS:ETC\NETWORKS
#
#       Network numbers
#
loopback        127             # fictitious internal loopback network
novellnet       130.57          # Novell's network number

#
# Internet networks
#
arpanet         10      arpa    # historical network
milnet          26              # not so historical military net
ucb-ether       46              # Go bears!

carry on then

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
i was about to say how i didn't understand how that could happen, like, i'm no it pro but i'm convinced, if the shop wasn't too big, that i'd be able to teach myself into the position at some point.

but then i think about my brother-in-law, generic white middle-aged republican who pretends hes more progressive than he is, who took like half a semester of some unused language and is convinced he's the biggest computer expert known to man

IPX owns though, the fact that it is non-routable is a feature that makes it perfect for LAN gaming.
