When you specify a number with a leading 0, the system treats it as an octal number. 64 decimal = 52 octal. If you remove the leading 0, the computer should treat it as 64. In addition, there's no reason to pad all of the components of your IP addresses to 3 digits (I see 064 and 000 above. Use 64 and 0 instead.) -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
