Routers must be on the same subnet as your machine. Based on your IP address and subnet mask, router ^1 is not on your subnet and therefore cannot be used.

You have not provided a subnet mask value.

TCP/IP will use a default subnet mask that corresponds to your IP address class.

The IP address is required for TCP/IP to operate. Please enter the IP address assigned to you by your Internet service provider or your network administrator.

^1 is a unusual subnet mask value (the mask is not contiguous). Are you sure this is the correct value?

This field cannot accept a carriage return.

 Each ^1 segment value must be 0 to 255.

The ^1 must contain 4 segments.

Each ^1 segment must contain between 1 and 3 characters.

The ^1 may only contain numbers and periods.
