I'm in the process of refining my small home LAN setup, which is connected to the outside world via a firewall connected to the internet via ADSL. I'm using 192.168.1.x for my box addresses and was in the process of setting up a DNS server when I noticed something odd...
% nslookup sdcrtr.nm.org Name: sdcrtr.nm.org Address: 192.168.1.1 Can this be considered an error on the part of my ISP? I was under the impression that nothing in the 192.168.x.x address range should be reported to anything outside a private network. Of course I suppose my whole ISP's network could be considered a "private" network? I don't imagine you can do anything with this since most routers won't allow it through but it's occasionally annoying to see errors on my machines like: Rejected connection at Thu Oct 5 16:37:41 2000: X11 connection from sdcrtr.nm.org port 1291 When it was in fact my own machine with address 192.168.1.1 that rejected the connection, and it's name is definately not sdcrtr.nm.org. Thanks, Gary
