This is because you have NAT (Network Address Translation) which is similar
to IP masquerade at your ISP. This allows Infovia to have a large number of
customers without requiring a large number of Internet-routable IP
addresses. To the Internet, your communications appear to be coming from
Infovia. Here's information from the header of your message, showing that
you appeared to have an IP address of [200.1.179.39] when you sent that
message:
Received: from lanet.com.pe (asy293.RCP.NET.pe [200.1.179.39])
by mail.lanet.com.pe (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id XAA23131;

I am, in fact, replying to you from a workstation (lab-300-cdw) which has an
IP address of [10.0.0.143] but this will be translated as it goes through my
work gateway to appear as if I had an address in the 209.98.86 subnet. You
should see a header similar to this on my direct-to-you copy of this
message:
Received: from lab-300-cdw (host03.embedr.com [209.98.86.131])
by mail.visi.com (8.8.8/8.7.5) with SMTP id LAA28521;

|This is a INTERESTING point ... all about private networks, RFC 1918.
|
|I have a dialup connection, and I enter to Internet through a Private
Network
|(named Infovia: of "Telefonica of Peru").
|
|I have a Question:
|
|Why when I enter to Private Network "Infovia", I can to make Telnet to
networks
|161.132.*.*, while I have a 10.xx.xx.xx ip address?
|
|I don�t understand, Why?
