Aside from the fact that you should not use 192.168.0.0 or 192.168.1.0 [1], you will at that point have a single subnet of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.3.255, with 192.168.0.0 being your subnet address and 192.168.3.254 being your broadcast address. Kurt [1] Too much consumer and other equipment uses those to /24 subnets as their default, and people don't tend to change them. Thus, using them is not a good idea, especially if you have people connecting via VPN to your environment. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
