IP address not of my picking...

Just curious if anyone knows what could be up with this:
ZA displays an IP address of 192.168.100.11 trying to access one of my 3 networked boxes.
I manually set them up as 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3
Nowhere is 192.168.100.11 and I can't delete it.

 

Maybe that's the router's dhcp server addy, or the router's dns server addy?

 

When that address is active, try from another PC

ping -a 192.168.100.11 and see if a PC name is returned.

 

What was returned was:

Reply from 10.1.194.1 Destination net reachable

(it did say net, not not)

 

Interesting.

Both the 198.162.x.x and the 10.x.x.x address ranges are reserved for private use (so never assigned as 'real' internet addresses).

Go to http://www.samspade.org/ssw/ and download their free package. Put the IP address in the upper left window and then do a trace. That will tell you exactly where the app thinks that address is located.
