Reminds me of when our router failed at work. Every machine got booted off the network, except mine. Digging in, my machine somehow got assigned an IP that looked like our public facing IP, not a local address.

We replaced the router, but the problem turned out to actually be that a construction worker had accidentally cut our fiber line.

Absolutely no clue how my laptop got to the internet. It must have failed over to some other WiFi network or something
