Sorry, mental lapse there.  The parts in numerical IP addresses go up
to 255, maximum.

That'll teach me to reply to an email while watching TV!

Interestingly, the error message (for that) in Firefox is rather
useless.  It could actually say why it won't work (invalid address),
rather than this:

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

"We can’t connect to the server at 127.0.0.631.

"If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:

    Try again later.
    Check your network connection.
    If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has
permission to access the Web."

GoogleChrome just shows some odd google search results.
