It appears that you're behind an IP masquerading firewall
(note the word "router" in your canonical IP name... also
"filtered" indicates a firewall). Interesting.
Starting nmap V. 2.53 by [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
All 1523 scanned ports on
216-196-225-xx.cable.router-ubr1.ci.lebanon.oh.us
(216.196.225.xx) are: filtered
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 205 seconds
At any rate, the fact that you run DOS means you
have no servers or services running, which would
make access very difficult. Then add the fact
that you're behind a wall, and you've got a
pretty wide moat, and no windows in the wall that
might tempt a pole vaulter. ;-)
Oh, and the .xx doesn't really hide anything from
anyone who wants to know.

They're all the same place...
for the time being, anyway.
