Re: Custom OBDC Subsystem servicing jobs from wrong IP.

Thanks Elvis, I've been waiting for my request to change it to be
acted on, good to know that the change should take care of the
problem.

It doesn't make sense to my that the IBM dialog where you add the IP
address would provide two options 1) IP Address or 2) IP address
range, along with a subnet mask field then default to IP address along
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Nothing in the online help mentions that the subnet mask has any
effect for a single IP address.

IMHO, the subnet mask field should be output only and would
automatically be filled with either 255.255.255.255 when add a single
address or an appropriate mask for the range you've entered.

I think you got it.  This is an email I got a while back from one of our
customers:

"No, not really, turns out the setup page at the end where it asks for the
subnet of the specific client it doesn't want the subnet of the server but
the mask of what to look at. So putting 255.255.255.0 it was bringing in
everything with those first 3 numbers of the octet and putting
255.255.255.255 makes it take that one address only."

One thing I notice,

The specific IP address to route to the custom subsystem were entered
as individual IPs.

The subnet mask was left at the default of 255.255.255.0, does that
need to be 255.255.255.255?
