somewhere. but i know not where.

http://www.whoami.it/home/  shows me to be;
    adsl-184-41-28-86.mem.bellsouth.net
for the hell of it, i pulled and reconnected DSL line, now, i am
    adsl-184-41-28-44.mem.bellsouth.net

which is now confusing me more because the 1.144 address is in;

  ~]$ ifconfig
  eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0F:FE:8F:8F:23
            inet addr:192.168.1.144  Bcast:192.168.1.255 \
             Mask:255.255.255.0
            inet6 addr: fe80::20f:feff:fe8f:8f23/64 Scope:Link

your ROUTER gets the internet IP on its WAN side (184.41.28.86 or whatever), and your LAN uses 192.168.1.xxx, the system you ran ifconfig on there has 192.168.1.144. the router 'translates' your private LAN addresses to the public internet address, this process is often called NAT (Network Address Translation), or Masquerade.

so. Wireshark, for unknown reasons, thinks your system is 'PartedMagic'. I have no idea why.

so... 'PartedMagic' is a red herring. whats the ACTUAL problem here we're trying to solve?
