Will you also calculate based on the mask if the address is a broadcast or network id[1] and hence invalid? For example if I put in 192.168.0.56 255.255.255.248 or 192.168.0.63 255.255.255.248 it would be invalid. Or is this just a check that the IP has valid ranges in it? Also shouldn't we at least tell people what to do if something is incorrect? For example in your screenshot we could say: "The value "256" is outside of a valid range, please validate the address" If we validate the subnet it could be: "Your address is either a Broadcast address or network ID and hence is invalid" [1]My old Cisco press books called this network id but I have seen host id, subnet id, and others in use as the term for this.... _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
