I've seen that sort of thing before, where devices only work within a limited range of private addresses. You're stuffed if they're not available to you. Imagine buying something that can only work on 192.168.1.x, so you go around reassigning the addresses over everything on your LAN to accommodate it (a right pain in the neck). Then, a month later, you get some other device that can only work on 192.168.0.y! It's that sort of half-arsed equipment design, by those who can't see past the end of their own nose, that causes no end of trouble to people. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.16.3-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 17 23:07:44 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
