not WHOIS but WHERE IS 10.x.x.x

[wlc]

Hi all,

lately when I run "tracert" it gives this result.

1 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms 192.168.x.x

2 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms 10.x.x.x

3 * * * Request timed out.

4 8 ms 11 ms 7 ms ....and then all runs normal

This 10.x.x.x wasn't there some time ago. Neither was the "timed out" line.
The LAN has the usual 192.168 adressing and my WAN-side adress isn't 10.x of
course, its 84.x.x.x.
I've read rfc 1918 but can't figure out where this 10.x adress is coming
from or "where " it is.
Why is there the time out line, who is not/slow responding ?

the local setup is: W2k server DC-DHCP-DNS-AD , XPpro Clients , NAT- router.

Many thanks in advance for all info.

some D-Links have the 10.x.x.x default IP.
Do you have any D-Link client/router, or any reference to one?

Hi H.N.,

no my router is SMC.
it has a static LAN ip 192.168 , the W2K is the dhcp for the LAN.
The SMC WAN IP is 84.x

i think Herbert has right...check your router's Graphical user interface
software...perhaps there is another lan interface unused on it from the
factory...
all dsl modems has that....

I checked the router once again but couldn't find anything related to 10.x.

Then instead of a general search for 10.x.x.x I typed the exact ip in google
and found it is the first router from my ISP I connect with for this area.
Apparently this "timed out"-thing is going on for a long time now. Found
complaints from early 2005
I wrote the ISP to get more info.

Thanks for your input all.
