[Noisebridge-discuss] Modem resets.

[Daniel Pitts]

Lols...
noisebridge.org resolves to 192.168.1.1

This is commonly used as the router or modems IP address in home networks.

You're looking at your own modem, because the owner of noisebridge.org 
(either intentionally or otherwise) has set the DNS setting to the 
192.168.1.1 address.

It is not a feature of the modem, or any of the devices.
