DoD on my VPN??

Hi,

I just set up a VPN client in XP. After I log into my host on Vista machine, I open XP's View Network Connections > right click my VPN > Status > Details tab and in the list of Device Name, Type, etc there are 2 at the bottom: Server IP Address and Client IP Address. They both pointed to the DoD Network Information Center in Columbus, Ohio.

OK, so now why is that??

thnx much

phil

 

Sorry, don't bother scratching your heads. It's likely a DHCP issue that returns 169.xxx addresses - curious that on the first occurrence of issue the ip addresses traced to DoD, but subsequent tests show various 169.xxx with no connection to them, sooo
admins feel free to delete this thread, thnx

 

Hi, i've seen the Exact same thing in the past, MANY times & similar .GOV etc IP's. But funnily enough they seem to have dissappeared in the last couple of years ?

I wouldn't automatically dismiss them though, as you never know. I'd keep an eye on your logs, & if you visit www's the .GOV etc might not like, then use a Proxy
