Curt,
Ok... so you dont own the network, thats the issue, you own 3 out
of 128 ip's. In this case definetly use your isp's gateway (whatever they
suggest you use (usually x.x.x.1), your broadcast will probably be
x.x.x.127, network address would be x.x.x.0, but you dont need to worry
about any of that, and that doenst solve your problem. so... i guess i
forgot your problem? do you want to setup a network radio device using a
machine on one of your static ip's?
