Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Another reason Microsoft sucks...whilst attempting to set an IP address on a NIC in a Win98 box to 10.4.100.255/255.255.0.0, I encountered the error message: "The specified IP address is not valid." I say we take a collection to send the Microsoft programmers to a class on IP subnetting. Cheers, Mick The Reverend Jasper P.
