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

 lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
           inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
           inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

virbr0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 52:54:00:B3:A7:95
          inet addr:192.168.122.1  Bcast:192.168.122.255 \
           Mask:255.255.255.0

[geo at boxen ~]$

so a question, in checking with a 'whoami' i got;
   adsl-184-41-28-86.mem.bellsouth.net
where is the 192.168.1.144 being produced when i am not in a VM.

looking in man ifconfig, nothing is given as to just what is shown.

no VM. this box connects straight to router, which connects straight
to DSL/phone filter, which connects directly to drop line.

something/somebody is 'hiding in the wood pile' and it has me
scratching my balding head even more bald.
