I am trying to install freebsd 2.0.5 via FTP.  In the network configuration 
dialog I type all of my information (which I know is right) and when I select 
<OK> I get an error message saying "Invalid gateway IP address specified."  My 
gateway is 204.213.255.1.  The 255 is where it is getting hung up.  If I change 
it to 204.213.254.1 it says the name server(204.213.255.2) is invalid.  We only 
have one class C address 204.213.255.*. Any ideas on how to get around this 
bug?
