Hi everyone, thanks a bunch for the answers. I should have given more info though, I was very vague and now I've made myself look incredibly stupid..... Anyway I have a valid (public) IP address. My next hop is my default gateway also another valid public address. Instead of my usual path out of the @home network I saw a private IP pop up and it made me wonder. I was trying to find the break in my connection to my news server which is supplied by another ISP (@home's are woefully lacking). I was able to ping my default gateway and do a traceroute to it (note I have a static IP), doing it that way it is the first hop. But doing a traceroute to any other public address shows the 10.76.x.x address as the first hop. I posted it to this security list because it seemed strange that a private IP address would be displayed. I'm not thinking that I was comprimised or under attack, just a little curious. RB
