I received the following message from a client of mine.. I thought that =
when a customer dialed in we were suppose to give them a mask of =
255.255.255.255 so that they could not some how use other IP's on that =
class c network.

Any help or advise would be appreciated...

am receiving something strange. My subnet mask appears to be =
255.255.255.255 whenever I am connected to you. While this is normally =
impossible, it is happening, and it is interfering with some security =
software I am running. I would appreciate it if you could fix it. =
