Either 0 OR 255 will put you on a totally diff subnet (big word you needn't worry about unless you're in IT Or wish ot become extremely acquainted with IP addressing issues. So don't go there... trust me its not worth the headache unless you love ot learn esoteric shit ... like some of us here...).
So... 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.24, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.254 any of those numbers will do... but follow the KISS principle is safest. *Keep it simple, Stupid*. I'd use either: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.50, 192.168.1.100 Any of those are in simple denominations & are easily scaled if you later want/need to add more comps to your LAN. So if you add a new comp you can make it: 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.11, 192.168.1.51, 192.168.1.101 Follow me? --- Femme *************************** *Using Evolution on * *Mandrake 9.1 & Loving it!* *Suck it M$hit!
