I'm guessing it was a BT Home Hub. It's idiosyncratic, but setting itself to the highest address is as logical as the lowest, is it not. > and *.100 as their address. One might suspect that 100 lies at the lower boundary of its DHCP range, leaving 99 static addresses free. But no guess at a product. Cheers, David.
