Uhm, I though ae1 was the internal net, the one hidden from the main net.
25-50 certainly would be right for the main net, but not for the internal
one, as those are the numbers you have on the main net. Here's an excert
from the message I was replying to:
ae2 -phase 2 -net 25-50 -addr 25.33 -zone "CWRUnet" -zone "Chemistry"
-zone "Housing" -zone "Statistics" -zone "neurosciences" -zone "WSOM"
-zone "Smith Lab" -zone "Physics" -zone "Neutral" -zone "Net Services"
-zone "Music" -zone "MSASS" -zone "Medicine" -zone "Math" -zone
"Libraries" -zone "Health Sci" -zone "ESS" -zone "Engr" -zone "EEAP"
-zone "CIT" -zone "CP&P" -zone "CNS Internal" -zone "CIM" -zone "CES"
-zone "BRB" -zone "BIOMED" -zone "Arts & Sci" -zone "Archives" -zone
"AIS" -zone "Administration" -zone "South Residences" -zone "North

ae1 -phase 2 -net 51-75 -addr 51.33
Take care,
