Don, I think you missed the boat. Yes, 116.142.10.0 is a subnet of 116.0.0.0, however the question wants to know how many subnets exist of the subnet 116.142.10.0 255.255.240.0. It's asking how many subnets of a subnet exist.
You can always subnet a subnet. And you can subnet a subnetted subnet. You can subnet until you're blue in the face. Me? I'd rather be sleeping. -- Leigh Anne > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > don Johnson > Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 9:12 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Calculation question [7:23292] > > > not quite > the network would be 116.0.0.0 > 116.142.0.0 is a subnet of the major network 116.0.0.0 > there are 12 subnet bits there chech it out on a 25xx setup program you > would answer 12 if you answered 4 you would get 255.240.0.0 on a 116 > > >From: "Chuck Larrieu" > >Reply-To: "Chuck Larrieu" > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: RE: Calculation question [7:23292] > >Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 19:35:38 -0400 > > > >I strongly recommend you go to www.download.com and get yourself > a freeway > >IP calculator. > > > >in answer to your questions - see comments below: > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > >Hunt Lee > >Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 4:04 PM > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: Calculation question [7:23292] > > > > > >It would be great if someone can help me to clarify on this: > > > >Q1) How many subnets in 116.142.10.0 255.255.240.0? > > > >I would think since 116 is a Class A, that's means I have the next 24 > >bits to play with.
