[rescue] 208.178.101.40?

[Sheldon T. Hall]

... So I install cygwin's port of Xfree86 on my FeeCee.  OK so far.  Fossick
around in the new directories, find a likely startup file, examine same.
Looks OK.  Try it.  Lo and behold, I get an X desktop.

Allll-right!

So, I want to connect to my Solaris box.  telnet in, start an xterm ...
"connection refused".

Oh, yeah.  Forgot xhost.

So I type xhost just to see if anything is on the "OK list," and, what do I
see but "208.178.101.40" as being OK to connect to my machine.

Huh?

Who is "208.178.101.40"?  Pinging it gets "request timed out".  Whois shows
it's registered to ...

Global Crossing GBLX-5 (NET-208-178-0-0-1)
                        208.178.0.0 - 208.178.255.255

and delegated to ...

Neal Gerber Eisenberg GBX-REQ000000013357 (NET-208-178-101-32-1)
                        208.178.101.32 - 208.178.101.63

which seems to be a law firm in Chicago.

Should I be looking for the black helicopters?
