Hmmm. Wish my ISP followed those rules. I can root around their 10.x.x.x network without problems. And a friend on Qwest/USWest was able to do the same. I originally became curious about it when I realized that traces outbound show the 10.x.x.x network and my DSL device is configured in a layer-2 bridging mode. Someone was VERY lazy in their network design meetings. Tsk tsk. Betcha' the router jocks at both places have CCNA certifcations or higher from Cisco too.
