*So an addresslike **192.168.1.0/8* <http://192.168.1.0/8>* represents the addresses from 192.168.1.1 through **192.168.1.255. *
I'm not sure that's correct. It would really mean that the first 8 bits of the IP (the first segment) is full 1. So that the sub network portion of the adress would be: 192.X.Y.Z. So it would vary from 192.0.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.254. Michel On Sun, Nov 22, 2009 at 9:30 AM, Leslie Satenstein <[email protected]>wrote: > I appreciate the answer you provided and the link.
