It's the server TO WHICH YOUR MACHINE IS CHATTING.

However, *YOUR* machine is identifying itself to the yahpoo server as
"?192.168.1.3?"

That is what is invalid for 2 reasons:

a) it's meant to be an address literal, so it should be a public
address, not an address in RFC1918 space.

b) The address should be between [square brackets], not question marks.
