No, never deal with problems that "deep" - the wost I dealt with to date was
a dead switch port or bad cable...

Nope - Internet access is a *scarce* commodity, as everyone in the new
office is connected to the main office via 2 T1 lines (about 70 Citrix
users), and you need a business reason to get internet access (as a
Validation Analyst, I don't qualify, but that's OK). The access folks need
is actually quite easy to setup (just DHCP on the port, and point Citrix at
the server, done.)...
