Kevin,

this ip belongs to a customer, not an internal ATTBIS machine. the
66.30.136.77 ip dns's to h00a0cc5d079f.ne.mediaone.net  which is the
standard entry for a customer's machine.
h -> for home
00a0cc5d079f  ->  the nic's mac addy of the machine
ne _> New England
mediaone.net -> self-expl.

this ip traceroutes to the Needham,MA area

Jim
