single host address (mask 255.255.255.255)

[Petr Laznovsky]

I need to assign Microsoft loopback adapter with IP address of single
host (netmask 255.255.255.255). It is possible?

Hi Petr,

Thanks for posting here.

As far as I know, 255.255.255.255 cannot be used in your case, but usually
is used by a router. For more information about Subnet Mask, you may refer
to the following Microsoft Web sites:

Have a nice day!
