This affected a lot of my company's clients. Our helpdesk was inundated with calls."Check both the destination and return path when a route fails." "Switches create a network. Routers connect networks." -

Really it just hosed up DNS but it was "down" to the users.I finally started that blog - www.thomgreene.com
