Can't someone please tell me what's wrong with my IP Address

[yeahoksure]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why my IP Address is Class A - 10.0.0.25, but my Subnet Mask is Class C - 255.255.255.0 ? I tried to release this IP Address through Command Line but when I renew I get the exact same one. I've had the same service provider for 5 years now and haven't noticed until now, I have DSL through Verizon. I have a Modem and Router but both are set for Dynamic IP Addressing and they both look to have 192 IP Addresses, so I have no idea where my computer is getting that number. Could this also have something to do with the reason why my computer seems slow at times ? I should have speeds near 700 KB/Sec but I barely reach 100, that's not only what I'm paying for but when I do speed tests online they give me roughly the same number. I just bought a new computer with Windows 7 so I know it's not the hardware.

Hi and welcome to TSG.

Exactly where are you seeing the "my IP Address is Class A - 10.0.0.25, but my Subnet Mask is Class C - 255.255.255.0" information? The whole 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255 address range is reserved for private LAN IP addressing but it does not mean that a given router supports that entire range.

Please provide details (Full IP addresses, Subnet masks, DHCP server settings, etc.) of the LAN (local network) and WAN (Internet) side configurations of the router.

Is your computer using DHCP to get its IP address? If so, the DHCP server on the router may be reserving the lease of that address to your given computer (based on its MAC address) until such time as the lease time expires or the router is reset or power cycled.

If you're connecting by wireless are you using your network or a neighbor's?

What is the brand and model of your modem and of your router?

Thank you for replying and I'm sorry for the delay in my answers.

I have my own internet, that's where I'm connecting with a Westell Modem Model #6100 and a Netgear Wireless N Router. On this connection there's 3 Laptops and 1 Desktop, the IP on all the other computers are all the same and 3 are using Windows 7 while the other has Vista.

I hope this helps a little, someone on another site was saying it could be VLSM but I'm not even sure.

crashoverider had requested the results of the IPCONFIG /ALL command and you only seem to have posted the shorter IPCONFIG results.

I had also requested details about your set-up

Please provide details (Full IP addresses, Subnet masks, DHCP server settings, etc.) of the LAN (local network) and WAN (Internet) side configurations of the router.

There is something definitely wrong if all computers are using the exact same 10.0.0.25 IP address at the same time.
