Reserved IP Addresses - and my web site..

[Steven M. Klass]

Hey all

OK, I recently signed up with www.linuxwebhost.com for web / email services.

Anyway, I've spent the last 3 days trying to figure out why I can't see my 
web site yet.  Here is what it turned out to be.  My Web site 
www.pointcircle.com translated to 65.108.131.232  

I can ping this address.  I can't traceroute it - it hung on my firewall. 
Ah-ha a firewall issue..  

# grep -n 65. rc.firewall.new
659:  # Reserved-7 (65.0.0.0 - 95.255.255.255)
664:  # 65.0.0.0 - 65.255.255.255
665:/sbin/ipchains -A input -j REJECT -i $EXTIF -s 65.0.0.0/8 -d $UNIVERSE 
$LOGGING
1424:  # Reserved-7 (65.0.0.0 - 95.255.255.255)
1429:  # 65.0.0.0 - 65.255.255.255
1430:/sbin/ipchains -A output -j REJECT -i $EXTIF -s $UNIVERSE -d 65.0.0.0/8 
$LOGGING

So this is blocked because it's reserved - But is it?

65.0.0.0 127.255.255.255 IANA-reserved

Looks like it's reserved not for the whole thing..  Can someone help me fix 
this

obviously -s -d needs to be fixed.  Can someone clue me in..

Thanks
