im sorry sir derek22x... btw.. good explanation and illustration.

dont worry.. ganito rin nakukuha ko, normal lang yan if you are using a router over a smartbro connection.. a router actually has 2 ip adds.. 1 private (lan) ip, 1 public (wan) ip.. the private ip is the one starting with 192.168.x.x the public ip is the one visible sa internet like 125.60.x.x the thing is.. your router actually connects to another router in a smartbro base station.. thus the observation of your friend na parang 2 routers back to back. now 192.168.1.1 is the lan ip of your router 192.168.224.1 is the ip of base station router (im assuming taga quezon city ka rin kasi pareho tayo) note that 192.168.x.x pa rin.. so you are just connecting to a bigger lan network 125.60.x.x is the wan ip / public ip of the base station router.. actually all users connected to the base station uses the same public ip. this saves smartbro much money. actually ako nagtaka rin nung una bakit ganito lumalabas pag nag tracert ako. it is just a way pala para makatipid ang smart. unfortunately, this setup has many setbacks.. like you cant do remote access to your pc.

tnx dude..

is it possible to setup an ftp server over smartbro connection? i have setup an ftp server on one of my pc's in my home local area network. i can ftp locally.. but when i try to access my ftp server remotely using the smartbro public ip.. i cant connect... is it true that smartbro uses only 1 public ip for many users? btw, the smartbro tech service is useless.. they know nothing.
