This is exactly the problem shes having :-) I was trying to find this bug on
microsoft site at the same time

Only occurs if you have windows NTor 2K and are running a machine which
terminates the connection on the box (such as internal)

Other hardware such as the M1122 (which a high percentage of people have)
won't/doesn't have the problem.

Quote

"The address is viewed as a "broadcast address" instead of a host address on
the network. You cannot use the x .x x . x .255 address as a client address
even though it may be a valid host address. "

Its a Microsoft BUG :-)

Xtra (and any other ISP's who have them set for DSL and/or Dialup) have to
remove the .255 addresses for assigned ip addresses because of this BUG in
Win2K + NT even tho they are legal addresses

Thanks
