Hey all!

Im just curious, I accidentally told DM to open 172.16.2.1600

And it worked!
Well, kinda, it opened 172.16.2.64, and if you take 1600 and turn it into binary (f.ex with ms calculator) and then choose bytes, and then turn it back to dec, it reads 64... =)

But still, shouldn't DM stop me from typing that ip-adress to begin with?

Anyone seen anything similar?
It works with more numbers than that too, f. ex 1548 = 12...

=) Just a little trivia...I guess

-Cheers, Niklas
