From a locked thread:
192.168.X.X is what is called a private block. All IP addresses in the range 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 are unassigned and may be used by any network for their internal use. A regular IP address uniquely identifies a computer anywhere on the internet. A private block IP only uniquely identifies a computer on your local network. Many internet routers for instance come default configured as 192.168.1.1 and I believe windows also defaults to that address under certain cases. That is probably the source of this in the referred to email.
An IP in this range is in no way proof of any email senders identity. The blocks 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 and 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 are also private blocks which may be shared (and duplicated) by any and all networks.
If your web geniuses told you to look out for that IP address, you need to fire them and get new ones who actually understand the internet.
Re: RESPONSES TO KATHERINE'S UPDATE AFTER LOCK DOWNYou seem to be saying any email from IP 192.168.1.1 is from Igor. Afraid not.
