| [Windows] Can a router take its public IP address from the priva
My OS is Windows XP sp2. When I run the tracert of a certain website in the command window, it displays the lists of the hops(routers) between my PC and the destination website. Some of the routers have an IP address from the private IP range as their public IP. Is it possible? how can it communicate with the other routers while it has a ip address from the private range?
Here is the result when I run the command
'tracert www.google.com'
Tracing route to www.l.google.com [66.249.91.103]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Private IPs are still routable, just not publicly routable. However, that doesnt' prevent your ISP from using those IPs internally. |

As PetePuma  said, this are most likely your ISP's internal network that you're seeing.

Ethiopia | Thank you for your replies,
Is there any mechanism that I know the public ip addresses of these routers, that respond their internal address for the tracert command? |

The routers don't have a public and private address unless they are the last one. The forward facing address will be the public IP address and the rear facing address will be the private 10. address. The address is either on the 6th or 7th hop from the tracert you posted. Proir to the 6th hop you are on your ISP's internal network.

My guess is somewhere around hop 6 is a NAT/PAT device and that the OP is getting a private IP at his/her router. |

The ISP can have privately-addressed routers internally yet still be routing traffic for public IPs at the edge. With Verizon, my first hop is a 10.x.x.x address, though I definitely have a public IP. |

| With all due respect, given the OP's contry of origin and the terrible ping times to the 2nd hop and beyond, I still believe the ISP is giving a private IP and doing NAT/PAT.
