Private IP addresses Cablevision

Hi,

I recently switched to optimum online from DSL. My Linksys router was configured with a static private IP address on the public interface (192.168.x.x). After connecting the router to the cable modem, I was able to browse without any problem. I then changed the configuration on the router from static to DHCP client and got a public IP address. What I dont understand is how did I connect the Internet with a private IP address?

I would appreciate if anyone can help me solve this mystry.

Thanks in advance

Philip
