Ok, but I am not trying to look at the router output I need an address

It may be a router, or it may be just a modem. That depends on the
device, and the configuration (some can be configured to be a router, or
just a bridge).
Your email headers show a private IP address and a public one, so I'm
presuming that you have a router in your network.

Does your modem have a way of being configured, or is it just some black
box with no user adjustments at all? If it has a little webserver, you
can browse to it and see how its set up (router or bridge, and its IP
addresses).
If I do an ifconfig it just gives me the address of the computer and a
hardware address which I assume is the ethernet NIC. But none of
this pertains to the Wildblue "modem."
No gateway? Hmm, same here. I'm sure there used to be a "gateway"
section in those results. Maybe I'm recalling when I used to have dial
up internet, and the ifconfig results for the ppp0 interface.
I am lost ...
IPTraf is happy with root@box10, could that be where I need to tell
mrtg to go? I just want to view all the data on eth0.
You could try.
I'm guessing that you do have a router, you could try looking for it at
one of the common addresses for that private subnet, either
192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.1 (x.x.x.254 being a common address for
routers, and the like, x.x.x.1 being another common address for the
first thing on the network).
I have a system diagram you can view at:
http://users.wildblue.net/bobgoodwin/sys071031.png
I have inserted the hub between the Wildblue receiver and the router.
The receiver is a blue box with lights indicating the usual functions
power on, locked to the st. sig., ethernet activity, two F connectors
for transmit and receive, plus an RJ45 providing a 10/100 connection.
The "Surfbeam" spec's I have in my notes give me no clue as to how to
address it.
192.168.1.1 addresses the router, that's no problem, I have addresses
for all the bridges and the printer, etc., just don"'t know how to reach
the receiver/modem whatever it is. They call it a low cost subscriber
terminal." The outside unit transmits 1 watt on 30 gHz and produces an
IF around 1 gHz which the receiver/modem deals with. The dish is about
60 cm.
The information you derive from my messages is from this computer which
is connected via the wireless LAN and the router. I have removed the
connection from box10 and connected it directly to the hub via the 50 ft
cat. 5 cable so it does not see the router.
