0.221.221.221 IP in OS 9 PPP?

Hi all,

I've got a small program that waits around quietly in the background for a valid network connection, then tries to discover the current IP address. It deliberately tries hard not to trigger a dial-out.

When PPP was set to auto-dial, and a program (say, IE) triggered a dial, my program must have run part-way through the dialing process and, using MoreNetworkSetup, obtained an IP of 0.221.221.221. I couldn't find any references to this address on the net. I would hazard a guess that this is a temporary 'I'm still setting up the TCP stack - it's coming' kind of return. Would it be safe to assume that this is always the case for this particular value, and if we see it, just wait a bit longer and try again?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Regards,
Andrew Wright
