I am trying to remote the server of my company from my home.

I enter the router of the company and I get this info:

Internet, IPv4
POST LuxFibre LAN1 NG, IP address: 10.244.149.239

But I also Google my IP address, and google tells me that my IP address is 88.207.251.1

I am confused now.

For the LAN of my company, the IP of the router is something like 192.168.1.1. So I consider that the 10.244.149.239 is the IP address of the router in outer net. But Google tells me that the outer IP is 88.207.251.1. Why?

Besides, I cant ping 88.207.251.1 from outer but I can ping 10.244.149.239.

Why do I seem to have two outer IP addresses?

If I want to remote the server from my home or even from other countries, which IP should I use?

  • tbh, I'd just ask your IT department how to do it. Even if you managed to figure out your company's IP address [it's not 10.244.149.239 btw, that's in internal private IP, & so is 192.168.1.1] then it still would be unlikely to just let you in.

  • @RenjuChandranchingath I could. This tool tells me that my ip is 88.207.251.1. In fact i have already known this ip. But I cant ping it. I believe that u cant either.

192.168.1.1 and 10.244.149.239 are internal addresses. They are not meant to be routed externally, so the connection you need to make is to your company's external interface IP address for remote access. This will need to be set up by your IT department, otherwise your connection is likely to be denied by the company's external firewall/router..

88.207.251.1 is the external address assigned to your router by your ISP. That router will also have an internal address, and your PC will have yet another address.

Every interface has to have an address in order to correctly route packets, so don't be confused if you see many.

Thomas,

What the IP showed by google is a public IP, whereas the router gives you the private ip.

Secondly, you cannot ping your office router from your home, as the enterprise network/routers are always secure.

  • OK, I understand now. The router can't be ping.

    "Always secure" seems like a strong phrase here..

    I'd love to live in a world where office networks were always secure. Maybe not... Pesky job security.
