I think that the gateway must be on the same subnet as your IP. Are you
sure that the gateway is correct?

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
