octet 255 is broadcast only if network is class C, i.e. 192.0.0.0 -
223.255.255.255. Other case is when subnet mask is 24 bits - 255.255.255.0
But if he has subnet 10.0.10.0/22 for example (adresses 10.0.10.0 -
10.0.13.255) this is ordinary host address and this IS a bug.

the octet 255 is broadcast address, not to be used.   Two machine address
octets never to use are 0 and 255.
0 is ok for network octets but don't use 255.

Does anyone know if the TSM server would have a problem with a client
attempting to connect via an IP address with the last octet being 255?  I
have a server that will not talk to the TSM server, it has been rebuilt
several times, I have tried several different client versions and still no
luck.  The only constant thru all of this is its IP address 10.0.11.255.

Any help would be appreciated
