Hi all
I am connecting to the internet with a dial-up connection. When i connect to the internet the IP address which i am getting is 115.241.*.* and the subnet mask as 255.255.255.255. I would like to know is this subnet mask faulty or is it correct. As far as my knowledge goes subnet mask cant be 255.255.255.255. Is it an ivalid subnet mask???

Will this have any adverse effect in my internet connection.?? I am able to browse all sites. but one of my online racing game is giving an error message "cannot connect to the game server", eventhough the game server is running fine. It this got anything to do with that???

Hope to get this issue solved
Thanks in advance

That subnet mask would only be faulty if you had a network.

A subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 means that the routing prefix is all 32 bits or in other words your IP address is allowed to be anything.
