I am curious if anyone has ever seen this before. It really threw me

We have a user on a Dell and Mac. The Dell started producing a broadcast
storm, flooding the network. If you plug the Mac in the SAME port, this did
not occur. If you move the Dell to another port (we tried four), it did not
have the same results. We repunched the port to use a different line to the
main switch, and it was fine after that.

I have not seen this, as clearly it was not a bad NIC, which was our
assumption. Is it possible the Dell uses different wires in the connection
than the Mac and one of those was bad? That seems unrealistic to me.

Anyway this is after the fact, but it has been plaguing my mind, lol
