Subnetmask 255.0.0.0 and secondary IP

[BeNe]

Hello Togehter,

i added some more IP´s to ispCP under Settings -> IP Manage.
After that ispCP created a new Alias for eth0 like

Code:

eth0:5    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:19:db:d5:83:5e
          inet addr:91.143.8x.xx  Bcast:91.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          Interrupt:23 Base address:0xd800

So far so good, but why does we set here the Subnetmask 255.0.0.0 ?

The Problem is that i get everyday a new IP from my ISP at Home.
Today i have this one -> 91.22.2xx.xx and i can´t no more connect to my Server. It works perfect in the office and i asked all my friends -> no Problem.

I can´t Ping, and the Traceroute can´t also find a route to the Server.

I have an IP starting with 91.x.x.x and my new secondary IP for the Server start with 91.x.x.x and the Subnetmask is 255.0.0.0 -> CLASS A

I mean that this is the Problem and cant find a route to the Server.
Means that every Telekom Customer with an IP like 91.x.x.x cant connect to my Server ?!

Strange things happens here

network maskis automatically added by ifconfig based on default ip address

Code:

netmask addr
    Set the IP network mask for this interface. This value defaults to the usual class A, B or C network mask (as derived from the interface IP address), but it can be set to any value.

> open a ticket if you want as enhancement to be able to also set network mask.

Problem solved!
The Netmask was totaly wrong.
My eth0 IP has the Mask 255.255.255.240 and the new Alias was in a Class-a Net (255.0.0.0)
