Tracert showing private IP not on my network?

[milestoned]

Every time I tracert anything the first hop is always 10.52.64.1. Isn't this in the private IP space? Why would it not show me hitting something in the subnet that was provided by my ISP 24.168.128.0? Can I somehow bypass this using my router?

My ISP (cableone.net) gives each cable modem a 10.116.x.x address (which can only get to their equipment) then once it validates that I am a paying customer, it gets a 24.116.x.x number with the same x's. It is possible yours does too. it I trace route out, I see the 10, if I trace route in, I see the 24

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

it's my cable modem? thought never even crossed my mind. don't see how that could be possible for a 10 cable modem to hand off a 24 address. hm

Many ISP's now use private address space within their networks. If we trace out through our network, it mostly private address space all the way to the edge of the network.

In my case it is the router just beyond my modem, at the local headend. That is the device that has to validate me as a 10.116.x.x before I can get a 24.116.x.x address

I'm certain that most of the high speed connection devices are capable of, at least, basic routing capabilities. There is probably a NAT rule enabled for a specific range to hand off to that 24.x.x.x network.

I have to agree now. I started to ping diferent address's. I pinged 10.52.65.1 it went thru then pinged 10.52.66.1 went thru. I'm thinking these are other cable modems on the network.
