How did I create this image/spiderweb like effect? Old School plugin?

Hi guys, I'm certain I created this image in Photoshop using a filter of some kind but I cannot recall the process at all... I was wondering if anyone here that has used photoshop for a long time might have any ideas.

Here is what I remember:

It was made during my time at College and I don't recall if we had access to third part plugins, but the version of Photoshop I currently own (CS2) does not seem to have a way of reproducing it as standard. I never updated and later versions shouldn't matter as I know this was created before CS2 was available. The PSD is dated 20 July 2009. I am pretty sure the process created the web like effect on its own layer and I applied layer effects to make a bit of a drop shadow over the grey background. I think I had to click to add the junctions where the lines meet but its possible it was just generated randomly.

This is a bit of a stab in the dark but I'm wondering if someone here might be shed a bit of light on it or maybe can jog my memory somehow.
 
Are you certain it was a PS native filter?

I'm unsure as it was sometime back but the webbing output looks familar. Unfortunately, I don't have those old filters and may have to dig into boxes to find it.....
 
Hi Dv8, No I am not sure, I have a feeling it may have been a 3rd party PS plugin rather than something standalone but the machine wasn't mine so I can't backtrack. I was working on a shared workstation at college or university.
