| what is 10.251.224.1 I am on Telstra Bigpond Cable Extreme (Australia) connected via a Motoroloa SB4200 Surfboard modem, which then connects to a Billion WiFi NAT router.
Q1) If I try tracert to any working url, the first hop is the Billion, and the second is 10.251.224.1. It then times out. Always! This I cannot figure.
Q2) I frequently am unable to connect to my company site (www.remektek.com.au) or any other site hosted on the same Apache server. Only way to restore this, is power off the modem for 25+ minutes. Then it works for a short while only. Other sites seem to work, but still the weird tracert.
HELP! |

| I would guess that 10.251.224.1 is your router's IP. It doesn't seem like this is a Motorola issue. It sounds more like a networking issue. I am going to move you over there. If it is something else we can always move you to another forum that would be more appropriate. Thanks.

Any IP 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 is a private IP.

Please see RFC 1918 for additional information:

10.251.224.1 is the private IP address given out by your CMTS. It gives out a private IP because if u knew what the public IP was you may be able to log into the CMTS and they do not want that to ever happen.

| Well, this is why this is so mystifying. I took out all routers and connected a single PC to the Motorola cable modem.
After renewing the PC's IP, it got an external IP 58.something, which is the ISP's range. It was able to brouwse the internet. I then tried a tracert command, and it still tried the same 10.251.224.1 !!!! (then timed out).
I then installed Look@LAN which is a freeware network tool, and tried an Advance trace and it also showed the 10. number as timed out, but interestingly it also showed in parallel the proper route to the chosen site.
Also bear in mind that all this weird stuff is not tied to a single PC, so it can't be a malware, hijack.
Currently, I've replaced the Netgear FVS328 with a Billion 6404 VGO WiFi router, and so far things are working, except for the weird trace rout. |

Akron, OH | 10.251.224.1 is probably a router on your ISP. When I traceroute from RoadRunner, I see 192.168.1.1 which is my router, then the next hop is 10.49.128.1 which is an internal router on RR. |

| And does it timeout?
None of my other sites with the same ISP do this. |

Yes precisely. The 10.x.x.x is the ip of the router on your ISP's side.

| said by sunny8294:Yes precisely. The 10.x.x.x is the ip of the router on your ISP's side. Then how come when I go to my mate's site where is connected to the same ISP (Telstra Bigpond Cable) and do a tracert from there, there is no 10.x.x.x showing up?
Hmm, I recon it must be aliens or Bill Gates - he is after all, the source of 90% of computing problems  |

| I had also posted my problem on the Australian Whirlpool.net.au forums and have gotten a comprehensive explanation there. So to have proper closure on this thread, please read the full explanation here:
