Oh, it matters a lot. That's why there are reserved address ranges of differing sizes for this kind of stuff. You *will* have problems if you do this. Classic example: Sun used to publish examples that used actual addresses from their network in their manuals. A lot of people set up their networks using the example addresses -- and then connected to the internet, where a lot of people suddenly had to do mass renumbering because their machines were attempting to boot from machines at Sun...8-) > but I guess if were to reserve a > 10.*.*.* (* something) for z/linux only then that would be ok. Use a /24 from 192.168 or 172.28 instead. Wastes less space, and a lot of large corps use net 10 for internal space. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
