255.255.255.255 NM means that the provider gave a dynamic IP (either reserved or not) to your client..

The weird thing is, the netmask the telco provide is 255.255.255.255 and also provide a gateway. I doubt that 255.255.255.255 will work but its the one provided so I give it a try. So I configure firewall and create a virtual ip ifcfg-eth0:2 and put the ff: DEVICE=eth0:2 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=310.4.20.224 GATEWAY=310.4.20.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.255 When I restart the network, it says "SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable". See below: Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Setting network parameters: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ] SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable I also change NETMASK to 255.255.255.0 but error still appears. Please note that I can ping 310.4.20.1. I have Google that 255.255.255.255 is not usable except as loopback. What might cause the problem? Is it the subnet or the config in the ifcfg? _____ Tired of spam? Yahoo!
