Having trouble adding IP addresses

I'm trying to add IP's to a brand new cpanel box. The main IP is set up, and when I try to add new IP's this is what happens:

I was assigned xx.5.44.59 for my main IP, and 64.5.36.176/30.

From what I've read, this means

64.5.36.176 -& Network IP
64.5.36.177 -& usable IP
64.5.36.178 -& usable IP
64.5.36.179 -& broadcast IP

I asked my ISP about this, and their response was:

&Because the &secondary& ip's are being routed to a single machine with a &Primary& ip, then you don't lose the network and broadcast. &

---

My problem is, WHM only adds 2 IP's instead of all 4.

How do I fix this?

I found the solution if anyone else has the same problem, if this is wrong let me know :)

Instead of adding the IP's with the netmask of 255.255.255.252 (for a /30) i added them with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. I also had to add them one by one. Everything seems to be working good.
