Hello,
there is a known issue with pcAnywhere that broadcast addresses cannot be used.
How to disable the network browse functionality when trying to connect to a Host whose IP addres ends with .255

However today I saw the same behaviour for a network ID address.
Let's say one uses 10.0.0.0 addresses and a 255.255.248.0 subnet mask.
So there is a range 10.49.88.1 - 10.49.95.254 with 10.49.88.0 as network address and 10.49.95.255 as broadcast address.
One client has got the address 10.49.90.0 from DHCP. When the helpdesk guy tried to connect to that client the address has been recognised as class C network ID address and therefore a selection of all active hosts in that class C range is displayed.
Did anyone see that before?
I look forward to your replies.
