Interesting. 192.168.x.x is reserved, and will not propagate on the Internet. Same with 10.x.x.x.
These addresses are used on the local network side of Internet routers that have Network Address Translation, so that malicious creeps with warped brains can't find them. Doesn't work if someone on the local side makes a query to a malicious address. RFC 3330 seems to say that the 24 bit block 192.0.0.x is no longer reserved. I still like HP.

If that's true, my respect for HP just dropped a couple of orders of magnitude. That's an IANA reserved address, and should not be used anywhere, especially as a default on a device which is sold to the public. See RFCs 3330 and 1918. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
