Sorry it isnt me, I am using firewall and natd and i dont use the 192.168.1.xxx for my internal addresses. a quick scan of their network revealed 542 duplicate ip addresses in the range of 192.168.x.x so there are alot of "Morons" on their network which is probably correct since they only support Microsoft morons.
