While it appears to be solving the problem, I wouldn't consider it a
real
solution cause the TCP/IP stack break if one uses the CORRECT netmask
on it. But thanks a lot anyway, this is going to save me some trouble
for at
least the short term.

Any TCP/IP wizards around here that could comment?



Best regards,
 Gabriel
