Why is this? Is there an y > way around this? Yep... you need to use the line one of two ways: set ifaddr 0 HISADDR Yes.. use the word "HISADDR" this is a macro and will be replaced correctly. Or.... in my case... my ISP has two gateways... so I used this: set ifaddr 0 204.17.220.66/24 which means use "204.17.220.66" if available .. but if not you HAVE to use at least the first 24 bits... In other words 204.17.220.x where x is what ever the ISP sends back.
