A group of us discovered the only range of non-firewalled IPs in our university, which belonged to a particular library building. And because this was Windows 95 and you could just change your IP to whatever you wanted, we could connect to Quakeworld with a ridiculously low ping.

Windows can do that now, too. As long as the network is flat, then you can do this today. Nice find!
Still can change your ip most of the time! Jfc most devices just take whatever ip a responding DHCP server gives them, not to mention dns!
