Here's how I do it. The first IP address of your network is reserved (it's the network address). The last IP address is also reserved (it's the boardcast address). Everything between these is yours to use. Your subnet mast is 255.255.255.224 . In binary, this translates to : 11111111 11111111 11111111 11100000 This means that you have a range of 32 IP addresses, the last one of which is the boardcast address. HTH.
