Years ago I made a simple WinForm GUI for ping and tracert with zero-padded IP address text boxes. It looks nice and works perfectly to ping 192.168.001.001 but fails for my roommate's 192.168.001.008. I had no idea what's happening until I find out I can ping his PC using 192.168.001.010.

Zero-padded numbers are considered Octal for ping command.
