[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: Gateway on a different subnet?

[Burton Strauss]

It could be an honest mistake.

He may be confusing the EXTERNAL IP of the gateway/router link with the
INTERNAL IP.

The ISP may be configured with a point to point link between their router
and the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) gateway/router.  For convenience
(management), they may be assigning IP addresses to that link using a /24
that they've subdivided into /30s.

Their router would then be configured with TWO routes down that pipe, one to
the customer's IP block (66.x.x.x) and one to the management /30.

What you need is the IP address of the CPE gateway/router's INTERNAL
interface, which will be within the customer's IP block.

It could be, but it took over a week to get this config in the first place
and he has not reponded to my report that the config was wrong in over 2
days.  That does not denote someone that knows what they are doing.  It
should not take that long to get an IP address assignment!

It's pretty strange all right, but couldn't it just be an honest mistake
somehow?
