Title: Nokia static route problem with rfc 1918 (private address space using 192.168.1.x)

I recently purchased two Nokia 440's and am in the process of configuring them using static routing.

I have tried to enter the following static route in the box using Voyager:

New static route 204.79.199.0  Mask length 24  Next hop type: Normal  Gateway: 192.168.142.6

And I get the error:  Invalid IP Address 192.168.142.6
                             Invalid IP Address 204.79.199.0

One of my interfaces has the addressing of 192.168.142.0/29 which means that all hosts between .1 and .6 are valid and the gateway of 192.168.142.6 is a valid gateway.

Why?  My current Solaris box certian access this static route?  Why can't this box accept static routes using RFC 1918 addressing?
