The 'I work in I.T' thread

[SharkyUK]

Lovely call this morning from a CCTV engineer who has turned up on site asking for some ports to be redirected. We had no clue he was even turning up. Ask him what the external IP is and he gives me the site WAN IP because he is on site.....Asked him for the IP he uses offsite and he says they don't have one its all DHCP and roaming engineers. So a company who works in security wants to open up some ports on the firewall for the CCTV and leave it open to the world.

Mention this to the customer, they sign a LAF accepting it. Brilliant.

8.8.8.8 IIRC.
