My apologies, I meant Network layer, not Transport. Sheesh. Serves me right for spamming the list with general info (as I spam it again with my correction ;)
<snip> So there 4 bits in the 2nd octet, 8 bits in the 3rd octet, and 8 bits in the 4th octet that are valid for use as IPs on the "local" subnet (the +'s represent bits that, if changed, would tell the Transport layer that the IP is not local... the -'s are bits you can change to give yourself IPs local to your subnet. Note that they correspond to the 1's and 0's of the netmask). </snip> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discussion-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: discussion-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
