No... you cannot get the subnet mask. You can figure out the class based on the first octet and get the DEFAULT subnet mask for it... but it's probably not the subnet mask the IP was/is using. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Sorry for the OT. Is there a way to find the subnet mask when you only have the IP? I need both for a payment gateway and I'm waiting to hear back from the hosting company about whether they will tell me or not. Thanks.
