Chuck, Your non sequitor is minor if it's only "one of those nights" My non sequitor is "one of those days and nights". Anyway, the reason i was curios about this was that most of the labs i've done (or remembered) were done with classless for the 172.16 and 192.168. Back when i did the RIP/IGRP to study for the CCNA i was using class A address ranges. I guess it's time to hit the rack. Thanks. Elmer
