Have you masked out those IP's deliberatley?
If not, you have a problem. IP's can only go up to 255...

That is probably related to the fact you have an invalid ip address.. I
have never seen someone being assigned '111.222.333.121' though.. Check
the option script to see you are setting a *real* *valid* IP address for
local/remote. If you have a dynamic IP don't set it.
