TOPIC


    I have a problem with MacTCP 1.1 and applications based on MacTCP, such as
    NCSA Telnet 2.5 and Oracle for Macintosh OS.

    My network number was 192.0.0.rrr; that's the default class C network in
    MacTCP. Changing the network number made everything work properly.

DISCUSSION


    This isn't a bug. According to RFC 1166 (page 47), internet addresses in
    the range 192.0.0.rrr are reserved. MacTCP knows this, doesn't allow this
    address to be used, and issues a "bad ip or LAP configuration error"
    (error id = -23001).

    Addresses in the range 192.0.0.rrr are valid, but they are reserved.

    MacTCP, MacTCP 1.1.1 inclusive, does have a problem in that it doesn't
    allow the use of internet addresses in the range 192.0.1.rrr. We have
    reported this problem to the MacTCP engineering team.

    For a complete list of assigned and reserved internet addresses, please see
    pages 7 through 100 of RFC 1166.
