I went to a residential high school in a very rural state. Our internet went through a local college, then the state university. This is 1998. I was setting up my new main desktop with linux that year. When it got to network services, the installer asked me if I wanted dhcp and dns. "Of course I want dhcp and dns, I don't have a static IP here." It was asking if I wanted to install DHCP and DNS servers on this machine. I can only guess as to what kind of configuration allowed this to spread as far as it did, but for about 2 days the state university shut down the entire lower college's network because my machine was apparently responsible for DHCP for everyone for just a little while. |
