HINT:
when entering IP addresses, enter without "dots" and include any leading zeros. For
example, the above IP address 172.24.1.11 would be entered as 172024001011 while 10.0.0.1
would be entered as 010000000001.
Remember, when setting the "server path" information for a UNIX or LINUX based server,
the upper and lower case must be correctly observed. Also remember that UNIX path separators use
"/" while Windows uses "\" to separate path directories.
