I guess the rule of thumb when numbering devices which need to coexist with Windows is "avoid 255".
How about "when doing networking avoid Windows" instead? ;^) Being at a site which not only uses .0 & .255 addresses in our network but also has a "255" in two of our our base net numbers (128.255.0.0/16 & 129.255.0.0/16), I appeal to sanity & common sense in requesting that folks not blindly filter on octets of 0 or 255 when they don't (& can't) know the corresponding net masking. ________________________________________________________________________ Jay Ford, Network Engineering Group, Information Technology Services University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242 email: jay-ford () uiowa edu, phone: 319-335-5555, fax: 319-335-5505
