Anyone using Earthlink!

I will be trying to sort out a simple problem with a colleague who
uses Earthlink.

She has three time asked them for her IP address She has been given an
address 172 xxx xxx xxx. Does not work. Pinged no response.

I have asked her to check with WHAT IS MY IP, as I did for my own and
she came up with two addresses that did not work. Beginning 66.XXX XXX
XXX. My guess one could her machine and the other the ISP's address
for her.

I did a reverse check on the two numbers and they went back to
Earthlink. The other went back I recal to some address in California

OrgName: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
OrgID: IANA
Address: 4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 330
City: Marina del Rey
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 90292-6695
Country: US

The other two addresses went back to Earthlink.

OrgName: EarthLink Network, Inc.
OrgID: ERAD
Address: 1375 PECHTREE ST, LEVEL A
City: ATLANTA
StateProv: GA
PostalCode: 30309
Country: US

I reckon some support guy may have got it wrong with the 172 number,
gave had information to my colleague.

Anyone any kind commens that may harbour a suggestion that will be
helpful.
