| [Speed] Strange gateway issue
I lost connectivity today, but only for DNS. Before I knew it was DNS related, I tried logging into the SA modem, of which I only know the MAC address. Since my router told me my DHCP address, I first tried to ping it. You see that looks a bit slow, so I did a tracert to the DHCP server, which I assumed was my modem. Not so, as the gateway is 71.170.11.156, and that address conincidentally is a DNS server...
I really have to wonder why my first hop is 18 hops instead of 2.

Okay, Comcast was having issues in my area, when Internet service was back up, my gateway ip is: 71.197.16.145. Now one hop to that address in less than 1ms.
I really did not post this for anyone to correct what I saw. I posted a cut and paste from a tracert. Sure that could be done to any address, but I will place my posting history on this site against me being some wacko creating an issue. None the less, it does seem a bit out there for comcast to feed my router that gateway address. Then again, if they did, then that would explain why my connection did not work. |
