Read the response I sent you last week. The traffic you see is the CMTS
talking to your cable modem. That is why it is showing as 10.X on the
outside interface.

Hi ,
Yes, my internal IP scheme is 192.168.x.x/24
This response was coming from the external interface of the PIX.  I have no
dual nic'd servers, one of the servers has a trunk card in it, but all of
it's IPs are in the 192.168.1.0/24 network.  

I'm viewing the running config of the pix right now, and no where do I see a
10. address....

Thanks

What is your internal IP scheme 192.168.x.X? 
Do you have anyone tinkering with IP addys inhouse? 
What eth is this 10.X coming from? If from inside do you have any servers
with dual nic's? 

Anyhow with a bit more info I may be able to help

Hi all,

From the DMZ (1.0), I ran an nmap scan (-sA switch) towards the subnet my
PIX protects (192.168.2.0 /24).  I ran a sniffer while doing this, and
noticed the PIX responded with an ip of 10.89.112.1     I dont have a class
A scheme.  Why is this 10.88.112.1 address showing up from the PIX?


05:10:05.232940 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 254, id 39360, offset 0, flags [none],
proto: ICMP (1), length: 56) 10.89.112.1 > 192.168.1.5: ICMP host
192.168.2.1 unreachable - admin prohibited filter, length 36

thanks
