Re: [swinog] Connectivity problems with .255 IP Adress
Hi Does anybody know of such a problem? Mr. Google couldn't give me any satisfactory results... :-) This looks like a common misconfiguration on multiple 'router' or 'firewalls' to filter such ip addresses. We also had to exclude all .255 and .0 ip addresses from our dhcp ranges because customers getting such addresses had troubles connecting to various services out there.

Hi Mike! On 31.03.11 09:44, Mike Kellenberger wrote: One of our customers got a .255 IPv4 address assigned by sunrise. he can't reach any of our Windows Server 2003 hosts Sounds familiar. I had this problem with Windows 9x last time and avoided the usage of .255 and .0 since those days. Windows 2008 has a lot of improvements in the IP stack, so I'm not surprised when it works now.

I know that this can be a valid host address with a netmask of /23 or greater, but the strange thing is, that he can't reach any of our Windows Server 2003 hosts with this IP. Windows Server 2008 Servers in the same subnet are no problem... Does anybody know of such a problem? Mr. Google couldn't give me any satisfactory results... :-) There is a old windows bug with .255, maybe it's still not solved.
