I have PC-NFS (version 3.0.1) and I am trying to set the broadcast address
to be all ones in the host portion of the address. The PC is on a subnet
of a class-B network. Our university class-B net is 131.230 and our
department is 131.230.133.0 with the host portion being the low order seven
bits. We are using 131.230.133.127 for the broadcast and the subnet mask
is 255.255.255.128. My only problem is that PC-NFS wants to use all zeros
for the broadcast address instead of all ones.
My questions:
-Is there a way to set the broadcast address to all ones
in PC-NFS (Ver 3.0.1)?
-If not, is there there a new version of PC-NFS that supports
all ones for the broadcast address?
-If not, any other suggestions?
Thanks, Arden
