FN-FORUM: TCP/IP Properties

date posted 31st January 2007 11:53

Hi All,

I have tried to change the DNS servers in the 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP
Properties' dialog box, however receive the error message 'The combination
of IP address and subnet mask in invalid. All of the bits in the host
address portion of the ip address are set to 1. Please enter a valid
combination of IP address and subnet mask'.

My default (pre-configured) settings are:

IP Address: 212.227.xx.xx
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255
Gateway: 10.255.255.1

I've googled for a solution but can find anything. This seems to be the most
relevant: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-215168.php . I don't
understand what's wrong with the settings.

My server is running Windows 2003 web edition.

Thanks, Dominic
