A bit earlier today,  I happened to move my hub some,  so I could see the
lights on the front of it better,  particularly the one that tells me that
something is happening on the LAN...

At that point I took notice that there were two lights lit on the front of
it.  This being a 16-port hub,  there's a light for each machine that's got
an active link,  and I didn't at first think anything of it -- until I took
notice of the fact that the two lights are 4 and 7.  Only problem is,  the
two machines that are currently active on the LAN are plugged into jacks 3
and 6!  That'd be the primary linux box,  and the firewall/router.  There's
not even anything plugged in to jack number 7.

Weird!
