Even though I'd love to bash Windows I really can't think they have any
problems with a 0 or 255 value in an octet. Good old class A and B
networks (sorry Gert!) have always had lots of host-addresses where the
last octet would be 0 or 255. Having all bits zero or all bits one in
the host address is (still) illegal, but having an octet all zeros is
not necessarily wrong.

But we digress. :-)
