Re: ALL DNS Entries resolve to 127.0.0.1
said by tschmidt  :said by Matt :Your Linksys should drop those packets as private address space shouldn't be routed onto the public internet. The only addresses router will not forward is the local address segment used by the LAN. It has no way of knowing what addresses are being used external to itself. Dood, Tom, you're right. I just tested performing a trace route to 10.0.0.1 and sure enough, my router tried to send it out onto North State's (my ISP's) network. I was under the assumption that a home router would be intelligent enough to know about the private address space and not pass it LAN to WAN. |
