What is the netmask on these 8 IP addresses? If it is really a 3 bit block it should be 0xfffffff8, but from the above it looks as if it is really 2 2 bit blocks with a netmask of 0xfffffffc, which makes .120 and .124 the network IP address and .123 and .127 the network broadcast addresses. Check your netmasks, and the ISP's idea of the netmasks, oh, and for the Hex impared windows world, 0xfffffff8 = 255.255.255.248 and 0xfffffffc = 255.255.255.252. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc.
