Hello everyone Over the years I've seen several ISPs use 192.168.x.x or other of the IP ranges reserved for private networks as WAN adressess for point-to-point links on the Internet. Personally, I've always felt this to be a bad idea, but I can't come up with a compelling reason to convince people not to do it. Is there a reason not to? or is it just a matter of keeping apples and oranges in their respective baskets? The only thing I can come up with is that you can ping the routers in question from outside your own net if you use 'real' IPs. -Adrian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
