Just a note, I have had problems with windows machines involving a .255
address. It didn't matter that it wasn't actually the broadcast address for
the subnet - windows had a fit anyway, and various things didn't work as
expected. Nothing really stopped working altogether, just behaved
strangely. Changing the machine to another (non-zero, non-255 address)
fixed the 'problems'.
