Have you checked your IP address ?
Have you noticed this ? Your PC’s IP address at office. It generally starts with 10.X.X.X or 172.X.X.X or else with 192. X.X.X. Why ? Off all the zillion options to pick the IP address, why only these three. The reason is RFC 1918.
Each address is a reserved pool in each of the Class A, B and C network-types for private use.
| IP address range | Address block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 | 10.0.0.0/8 | ||||
| 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 | 172.16.0.0/12 | ||||
| 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 | 192.168.0.0/16 |
