I could look this up but thought it would be a good one for this forum.

Are these public or private addresses?, or what?

1.1.1.x

2.2.2.x

3.3.3.x

..

9.9.9.x

look forward to your replies.

hmm.. that's odd. I have seen these to be used widespread in the enterprise arena, privately for mgt addrs on routers and switches for example.

learn somehting new every day.

Although they are public addresses I use, and have seen IP's just like this in lab scenario's just because they are simple and easy to remember. They are in an internet routable IP space so be careful!!!!
