    Hello Shawn,

    According to my ISP this is not usable, and is treated as a broadcast
    address..

    69 ->> ISP Router

    This is the address of my routers WAN port. The ISP states this is
    provided to the router, and indeed this is what my router picks up as
    it's IP. This IP is also stated as the origionating IP on any internet
    out going traffic.

    70 ->> Your NAT/Firewall

    This according to the ISP is provided for a server, but I do not
    currently use it.

    71 ->> Broadcast Address

    Correct
