As an offshoot of the original question, among the IP crowd, "host" refers
to any device with an IP address. This is different than in the IMB world,
where "host" was the mainframe, which "hosted" the applications one accessed
via the 32xx terminal on your desk. This terminology spilled over into the
Microsoft world in the guise of "host" and "client" terms used in
applications like Carbon Copy, where the "host" was the PC that let you
control it and the "client" was the PC you were using to call in. I.e. the
one PC "hosted" your session.
This is not necessarily accurate in terms of origin, but the original sense
of the terms "download" and "upload" came out of the IBM world, where one
copied things "down" from on high - i.e. the mainframe, and "uploaded" i.e.
copied from your lowly connected terminal up to the mighty central machine.
The internet was designed around the idea of sharing among equals, which is
I suppose why all connected devices became "hosts" (of their own parties?)

It would include the routers IP address. The trick to the question is that
number of hosts are a power of two. Within the range of addresses the first
address refers to the subnet and the last address is the broadcast address
of the subnet. So a 255.255.255.240 mask will only yield 14 host addresses.
You have to go to a 255.255.255.224 mask that gives 32 addresses with 30
usable for hosts.
