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.


 JP> And it should be Thinkpad, not Thnikpad.

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