It's not routable from your subnet. You talk to your local gateway
(which is on the same subnet -- your router) and that forwards traffic
on to the internet.

Harry,
Thanks for the reply. I thought so, but since the isp's default gw addy
never changes (well, cuz it is Scenic City, TN) never changes, ?thought
I might use it........even though I know it was both routable and way
outside my local LAN.........suppose I was reaching, again...... :)
One day I might just understand part of this magic!
No harm, no foul. Can talk via my local router, so all is OK.
Best,
