Hehe. I had a similar experience on one of my lab exams, where the first
octect was one number lower (or higher, I forget) from the practice lab
I had been beating my head against until the day before. Several times I
had typed configuration command with the CCIE lab subnet in one place
and with the practice lab subnet in another. It makes for a lot of head
scratching when you think you 'see' that there is nothing wrong with IP
addresses but the routing protocol isn't working. After a couple of
these I finally wised up and was more careful. It's amazing the dumb
mistakes you make under pressure.
