This is your routing table, you are not running 10.2, or else you didn't include the ipv6 routing table:
When you did this command, your wireless card was not in use, you had a wired connection. You are using real, routable IP addresses, not RFC 1918 private IPs.
You might be connected to sprint, or else your provider has a connection.
Your default gateway is 68.98.252.1 and the device you use to get to it is en0 which is your wired gateway
The mac address of 68.98.252.1 is 00:30:7b:fb:98:54 and it is made by Cisco
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 68.98.252.1 UGSc 13 3 en0
68.98.252/24 link#2 UC 0 0 en0
68.98.252.1 0:30:7b:fb:98:54 UHLW 14 0 en0 1199
These are you loopback addresses and local addresses, which can be reached by the loopback device (kind of a pretend ethernet device that is always up.
68.98.252.240 127.0.0.1 UHS 0 0 lo0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 5 15531 lo0
ifconfig -a
[ip68-98-252-240:~] jbcantu% ifconfig -a
This is the reverse dns of your ip address: ip68-98-252-240
which you could verify by typing in:
dig -x 69.98.252.240
jbcantu is your log on name on your mac, and you have not su'd to root
Here is your loopback interface, it is up, it is capable of sending and receiving multicast, it has the ability to pass a packet that is 16384bytes
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
The loopback has an ip address of 127.0.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0
This is your wired ethernet interface, it is up and running. Your computer has a mac address of 00:03:93:68:1c:f8 on its wired port, you can probably figure out your address, your mtu is 1500bytes, which is typical ethernet maximum. Your subnet mask is a /24, or 255.255.255.0. I would guess you are on a company network. You are also probably connected to either a hub or a poorly configured switch, as you are running at 10mbps, at half duplex. You are running either a powermac or a powerbook, as your network interface is capable of running at gig speeds.
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,b6,RUNNING,SITMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 68.98.252.240 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 68.98.252.255
ether 00:03:93:68:1c:f8
media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>) status: active
supported media: none autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <half-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseTX <full-duplex> 1000baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control,hw-loopback>
So this is your wireless card, it is down, it has a mac address of 00:30:65:1e:31:82 which makes it an airport card. This means that you have a Ti Powerbook. (so do i)
en1: flags=8822<BROADCAST,b6,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:30:65:1e:21:82
media: autoselect (<unknown type>) status: inactive
supported media: autoselect
