I don't use a router, I plug my computer into the wall... literally.
Ethernet in da house! :)

But my gateway IP ends in .1 which is common.

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:22:15:ca:eb:a3
          inet addr:64.71.11.91  Bcast:64.71.11.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Info from 'route'

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
64.71.11.0      *               255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth0

The default route is indeed 64.71.11.1, then that gets broadcast over
the Net - 64.7.1.11.0 being the "internet" afailk.

Without a router and subnets and only one machine, this is a pretty
trivial setup to do.
