[TriLUG] Understanding Traceroute

[James Jones]

All my ip's go through the same Zyxel cable modem before reaching the
internet. Just one of them shows a mindspring user. Bugs me -- it
does.

I have reset the router, the modem and it still persists.

I guess I have to talk with TimeWarner about it -- that should be a laugh.

Thanks for the comments.
