I suppose I can share parts of a story. I went to use a legacy /16 we had only to see in-addrs fail. Checking the Internic/Arin registry showed no entry.
There is no such thing as the Internic/ARIN registry. There is an Internic registry operated by Network Solutions. And there is an ARIN registry operated by ARIN which you can query by whois -h whois.arin.net 128.65 or whois 128.65 () whois arin net depending on your whois client.
Upon contacting the NIC I was told "Prove it's yours." I said "you're the guys with the database, and WHOIS isn't showing it, put it back and I'll prove it's mine."
Who is this "NIC" that you contacted?
Feel free to find 128.65.0/16 anywhere. Let me know who you think it belongs to.
Since this block doesn't show up in ARIN's whois database I'll assume that you are complaining about that fact. If so, why aren't you directing your complaints to hostmaster () arin net or (703) 227-0660 as noted on the ARIN web pages at http://www.arin.net ? -- Michael Dillon - E-mail: michael () memra com Check the website for my Internet World articles - http://www.memra.com
