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.

That would be nice if it were always true. I used to think it was alwyas true. Then I tried it. Unfortunately it's not always true. Did you see the actual tests I ran? They fail.
