What The ISP is Doing ?
The ISP has probably set up a NAT router for it’s customers. This router will act as a firewall between you and the Internet. In the service provider's eyes, this keeps hackers from reaching your computer directly - a security measure.
Generally, private networks use addresses from the following experimental address ranges (non-routable addresses):
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
