[WEB4LIB] Re: DSL Woes

Re www.sun.com : the IPs I located don't match this theory.  However, if
you're on a hunt (and it's an interesting theory worth pursuing), keep
in mind that the three ranges for private networks are:

          10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255
        172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255
        192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255

for all you know, some dim bulb at SBC has blocked 192.68.*.* believing
that it was the private network range.  Or keyed something wrong and
went home.

Happy hunting...
