Quoting Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>: So I suppose if everyone knows to type in your IP# WITH the leading zero, it\'ll work as long as software implemenations don\'t change. It should\'nt make any difference either way. IP addresses are done as binary numbers, only we see them in decimal form. Since 077 and 77 have the same value, 1001101 it should work either way.
