Sorry, but the error message you are getting has nothing to do with the ancient post that you referred to. In that bug a comment line was not being parsed correctly. In your user error you are setting the netmask of your network (255.255.255.255) to be the same as the broadcast address for your network (255.255.255.255).

That netmask (255.255.255.255) is not valid for any network - it says that the network part of the address is all 32 bits and leaves nothing for the local subnet the host is on. What is it that you are trying to do?

Also, I put my email address prominently in all of the documentation and all of the programs. That email address is where suspected bug reports should go. I check web forums regularly but email is so much more direct and helps to get things resolved more quickly. There is also an issues/bug reporting system on the Google code download site for mTCP which I also monitor.
