Speaking of that, I've come across 1.1.1.1 in several places in NZ, most recently as the default router on the wireless network in Rotorua public library.

Is it time for a little campaign to get rid of this heresy? I wonder whether there is some techie in Rotorua who has been recommending such a setup. I found the same at the Duxton Hotel, also in the Rotorua area.

Alas try vendor. Cisco had it as a virtual address on their wireless controllers. I believe this is no longer the default, but of course there are all these networks out there that were set and forget, or people simply don't know better/don't care.

Unfortunately I failed to notice the netmask when I was in Rotorua. Do you happen to know whether they advertise 1.1.1.0/24 or something shorter? If it's shorter, something may need to be done, as Scott said. Brian
