I dont know the exact answer to your problem, but I suggest you look up
what that IP address means.

Before assuming its some connection to the internet.

Sort of like an email address at mouse-potato.com? Look up that

Try ping or host mouse-potato.com. Or whois to find out the registered
owner of the name, not that it tells you very much.
