I had this exact same thing happen to my dad's account yesterday. I was
perusing my users file, and I noticed his entry didn't have a netmask. It
was a single IP, so I added "Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.255," to it.
While that statement was there, I got the message you describe above. I
tried it with a W95 machine (DUN 1.2), and it worked fine (though
winipcfg still showed 255.255.255.0..... huh??). Once I removed the nm
statement, it worked fine. Even after removing, the assigned nm is /32,
so I couldn't tell you why the Mac barfed.
