Memory Refresher: Network Problem Over "X" Miles

["Derek J. Balling" <deballing () vassar edu>]

I seem to remember reading a story a while back about someone who got  
a trouble report that the users couldn't access sites greater than  
"X" miles away (can't remember X but it was like 100 or 200 or  
something). Anyhow, tech initially disbelieves story, but sees it for  
himself, and really odd network problem is diagnosed, problem solved.

However, I can't find this story to save my life now. Can anyone  
refresh my memory on it?

Cheers,
D
