Question: Is a netmask of 255.255.255.255 valid?

I don't think so but my ISP recently set the netmask that their dhcp server
sends to that. Now my FBSD box can't talk to them unless I manually set it
back to 255.255.255.0. I have a trouble ticket open with them and a
technician is supposed to call me back.

I'm running the wide dhcp client.

If I'm wrong about this, someone please set me straight.

Thanks...     Mark
