Web browsing worked without the router, but I'm not sure that there
wouldn't have been other issues. I see the following in WHOIS.<br>
<br>
NetRange 108.68.140.0 - 108.68.143.255<br>
CIDR 108.68.140.0/22<br>
<br>
Does this suggest that the netmask should be 255.255.252.0, not
255.255.255.0? Given the former, 108.68.143.0 should be free to assign.<br>

<p>It depends on the netmask. In this case, you are on a class C, so
the first valid IP would start at 1 and go to 254 in the last octet.
Whomever setup that dhcp server is an idiot.</p>

Linux-specific, but maybe someone here knows the answer. I was having
some trouble connecting to the Internet through my router, and I
suspect it might be due to the IP address I was assigned. When I
bypassed the router, AT&T assigned the following to my PC.<br>
<br>
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 108.68.143.0<br>
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0<br>
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 108.68.143.1<br>
<br>
Is the IP ending in zero valid, or is it the network identifier?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
