Yeah, writing it out in binary is great for getting an understanding of what's 
really going on.  I'd highly recommend reading Ben's earlier post a few times 
to let it sink in.  It isn't really complicated, but it does take a bit to get 
your head wrapped around it and figuring it all out in binary makes it much 
simpler since you can ignore the decimal translation, which is where a lot of 
the confusion comes in, for the time being.

  Did you write it out in binary like I did?

  No, you don't.

  I'd suggest at least getting a better understanding of what you have now, 
before you start renumbering.

  (Hint: A single byte allows 256 possible values, and IP starts counting from 
zero.)
