Evan, you seem to be conflating the term "public ip" and "private ip".

The definitions as I understand them:

Public IP: The IP you present to the rest of the internet, for example,
the ip address that an edge router at isp-x would see a packet as
originating from when it arrives from your non isp-x connected origin
system.

Private IP: An internal IP address used on a network separated from the
public internet by routers performing network address translation, such
that any computer external to that network sees all traffic from
computers within that network as originating from a single public ip
address, or possibly a small set of public ip addresses.

So a 192.168.x.x address would be a private IP address, not a public ip
address. When bullis is in his hotel room in vegas with his blow up sheep
and they're all using the hotel's wifi, they would normally all have
private ips on the hotels private network, which through NAT would give
them all the same public ip which I would see in my logs if they were
accessing pictures of lolcats on my apache web server in the UK.

(Note - I don't actually have a collection of lolcat pics on my server!)
