None of the 3 computers or the router use 192.168.100.1, also,
the router only assigns addresses in the 192.168.2.1-100 range.
192.168.100.1 doesn't respond to a PING, but 10.150.1.103 does.
I have confirmed 10.150.1.103 isn't part of the LAN, the ISP
probably uses it for somthing. The LAN addresses are:
192.168.2.1 (router)
192.168.2.30 (this one)
192.168.2.8
192.168.2.44
