On Tue, Jun 17, 2003 at 06:51:59PM -0400 I heard the voice of Bill Moran, and lo! it spake thus: > > 192.168.2.0 is not a valid IP address. The last number must be somewhere > between 1 and 254 (inclusive). Well, just to be anal about it... false. 192.168.2.0 is a perfectly valid IP address in any number of cases; for instance, it's a fine address about 3/4 of the way through the 192.168.0.0/22 subnet. Of course, sticking it (or any other address, except in some cases which don't apply here) on loopback is just silly. The addresses used in the SLIP attachment make a lot more sense. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
