I think 192.168.xxx.xxx is reserved for private networks (LANs) such as that created by router/firewalls (I have one also). When you look at the leased address on your computer, you are only seeing what your own router has given out (from it's internal DHCP pool). It actually isn't really telling you ANYTHING about what is going on re: connection between your router/firewall and your ISP. For that, you'd have to look at the addresses etc. your router is using i.e. see how it is configured. What I have done is set up my computer to recognize two gateways: one is the router (as you have apparently done), and the other is the ISP's gateway (by looking at the configuration of my router (what gateway it is using). If you try to do the same, you're on your own re: any further issues it may create. As for the subnet mask, I think you may be right... 255.255.255.0 makes way more sense than 255.0.0.0. I don't suppose it could hurt to try it, especially since it ought to be a simple thing to put back if it doesn't help (or makes things worse).

Question for the IP gurus

Maybe I found the problem, but before I start to reconfigure my network I better ask.

My Broadband router (IP Adress 192.168.1.254) offers DHCP and I am using this. When I do a IPconfig in the DOS-Box I see, that I have a leased IP-Adress (192.168.1.2) Standardgateway is my Router (192.168.1.254), but the Subnet Mask for my Ethernet Adapter is 255.0.0.0.

Shouldn't that be 255.255.255.0 (Class-C)? Can this be the problem?

Sorry for beeing off topic.

Greetings,

Bernd

Meanwhile it seems to be a very local routing problem at the local gateway of my ISP. Using the same ISP in another town, there is no problem. Of course, they have another gateway there.

I hope, they fix it soon

Looks to me like the following:

wccb, wetpaar, and nasse klamotten are all using a germany-based web hosting service named "webmailer". Multiple domains (with their own web sites) can share a single IP address because the host server looks at the "host header name" in the request to sort out which actual site is being requested. This has been a feature of HTTP for a number of years now.

As to why that (presumably) class-C space has disappeared... well... I had no problem getting wccb to come up when I just tried it. I'd guess that the hosting company must have had some temporary problems at router-level which knocked a bunch of their client sites off the net for a little while. Used to happen to me a LOT (been better lately).

...what the hell is going on?

Since a couple of days I can't reach either www.wccb.de, www.wetpaar.de or www.nasse-klamotten.de (and some more URL)

During my search for the problem I found, that their Ip-Adresses are nearly the same. Nasse-klamotten has 192.67.189.6 and now something interesting: www.wccb.de and www.wetpaar.de have both (!) 192.67.198.4. How is that possible? Acording to NIC they really have both the same IP.

What I found now, is, that I cant reach any IP beginning with 192.67.189.XXX.

Anyone any idea or same problem?
