Funny 192.168.0.25 Response on 192.168.1.x Home Network

[CharlieSmith]

My home network runs on the 192.168.1.x LAN segment with subnet mask 255.255.255.x for about a 10 clients connected via Wifi and wired Ethernet.

When I do an IP Scan with AngryIP Scanner, I fairly often get a response from 192.168.0.25 which I find very suspicious. The PC running the scanner is wired to the ADSL Modem/router. IP address of router is 192.168.1.254. ISP is Vox Telecom.

The traceroute response is :

Tracing route to 192.168.0.25 over a maximum of 30 hops

Trace complete.

The second hop always times out and the number of hops and the list of IP addresses are always the same.

Should I be worried ?

Probably nothing to worry about. It must be a private IP range used by your ISP as the address is not routable on the internet.
