Change the subnet mask ;-).

Seriously, 255.255.255.255 sounds odd.
The smallest usable subnet is 255.255.255.252.  Seeing as the lower IP
address in the subnet designates the network itself, and the highest
IP in the subnet is per definition the broadcast address,
255.255.255.254 doesn't seem usable, and 255.255.255.255 certainly
doesn't.

I'm not an expert, so take it with a grain of salt.  I don't know what
your kernel does with it's routing tables etc. when you choose
255.255.255.255, and I don't know if perhaps you're right and you've
got the correct subnet mask.  But it definitely sounds very odd.
