That will be the IP address of your ISP's DHCP server. They may well
have givenyou some documentation, or put that information on a
website, or failing that, you could just call their help line and ask.

The log file you need is /var/log/auth.log -- that's where anything
security related generally gets logged. Almost everything in the base
systeem and many of the ports which write data into logfiles will keep
those logfiles under /var/log. Makes them much easier to find...
