Our new ISP has assigned us a small subnet and has given the router an IP address equal to the network address.
network: 209.161.204.232 netmask: 255.255.255.252 broadcast: 209.161.204.235 router: 209.161.204.232 machine#1: 209.161.204.233 machine#2: 209.161.204.234 Is this legal? After setup, I was unable to create a default route to the gateway. The interface was configured properly, but when doing route add default gw 209.161.204.232 always returns the error, "network unreachable". To work around this problem for now, I've set us a 4-bit subnet (instead of only 2 bits) so that the router address would not match the network address.
