   You noticed more than what I expected from you.  From an ex-pilot   your   
   attention to detail is pretty good. ;)   
      
   The main thing that I thought was weird was the ping address itself.  I   
   erroneously entered 192.168.0/1 (with the slash), and got a result from   
   67.215.65.132.   
      
   Further digging reveals that the address is part of the range assigned to   
   OpenDNS.   So, the address makes sense since OpenDNS is my DNS server.  But I   
   find it unusual that 192.168.x.x would produce an "outside" result, and not   
   just limit it to the LAN.   
      
   What do you get when you use a slash the same way?  Do you get an address that   
   represents your public DNS server?   
      
   I have two routers in my LAN.  The one wired to the cloud is 192.168.0.1 and   
   produces a 2ms ping result. The other router connects into the first and   
   provides the wi-fi to my "Thnikpad" with a 1ms round trip.

   "Thnikpad" is on purpose.  The laptop arrived with that name.  It flustered me   
   a first, but then I grew to like its uniqueness.
