That is: > 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, with implied 255.255.0.0 netmask. thats the basic misunderstanding for class B private ip address netmask... they thought that /16 or 255.255.0.0 as the implied netmask... same goes also with class C private ip address that the implied netmask is /24 or 255.255.255.0... /12 or 255.240.0.0 netmask, still the total hosts for this class B ip address is 2^(32-12) - 2 or 1048574 hosts.. fooler. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
