What Is My Company Network Topology Like

My company network is such that my my boss network has a default gateway that points to the internet but my computer's default gateway can only access the intranet. If I change my default gateway to that of my superior's I can access the internet.

Does anyone know how the network is segmented? Is it possible that there are 2 routers?

    My first guess would be he's bypassing a firewall. Why not just ask though?

    That could be accomplished with one or two routers or a firewall.

    Where your boss went wrong was not putting the "Proletariat" vs. "Bourgeoisie" on separate VLANs. ;)

    Either your default gateway has no route to the Internet and your boss's has one, or your boss's either takes a different route to bypass or is otherwise allowed through a firewall of some kind.

    No one can tell you is what we are saying. Just guess work. Ask your boss.
