    Invalid argument was enountered

    I see the network settings haven't improved one bit since v7, it's still a PITA to set up.

    My host is 'host-it' (ex pinbrook) and I used the v10 network settings from their knowledgebase as a starting point and imported them. But when I try to 'test' the settings it gets as far as
    Testing Normal Settings...
    Testing CGI Script Settings...
    Then it comes up with the totally unhelpful error "An invalid argument was encountered" (why do these stupid messages never say what the invalid argument was? Then at least it might give a clue to what was wrong)

    Here is the censored net settings export, can anyone spot the error?

    I did try the Wizard, but it kept failing on the perl path (even though it appears to be correct), and also manually but that didn't work either...
