The ISP is Charter. I purchased from them a "static 5 pack" which is a /29 routed subnet according to them. Here is what they sent me (I replaced the actual numbers): "Ok got the 5pack on the router: IP 66.188.xx.b to .c *Subnet 255.255.255.248 Gateway 66.188.xx.a"* I am going to ask that technician about it tomorrow and see what exactly he configured. Just to recap though, that IP info above doesn't line up with the ranges from my other subnet. The info for the other subnet has a different "Gateway" address than that one.
