	Some ISPs use 10.x.x.x internally to save IP addresses inside their networ=
k.  CBeyond and I believe AT&T U-Verse do, perhaps more.  I would check wit=
h your ISP to see if that is one of their addresses or something being hand=
ed to you by the modem (i.e. it's not bridged and is using NAT, which is ki=
nd of what it sounds like).

	M0n0wall I think by default does not route private IPs over the WAN...chec=
k the WAN interface page for that checkbox.
