It would be really clear, if typing in the IP still meant it was broke (because it would be a sure-fire way to make the browser always come up as broke) ... but to make it work? I guess the only thing I can think of, is that it's like people on TV and movies using a '555' phone number ... Maybe the writers of the show are smarter than we think ;) What’s really odd, is that they went through the effort to make it have the 4 sections to the number, but then screwed the rest up?

The first number cannot be a 0, and you do not pad the nunbers to 3 disigts as they did. But hey i'm a computer engineer what do I know about IPs?
