Look at the subnet though. 255.255.248.0. That would fit for a network of 24.15.112.0 with an IP range of 24.15.120.1 through 24.15.127.254 (usable). The broadcast would be 24.15.127.255. 24.15.125.255 is just somewhere in the middle of the usable IPs. If the subnet had been 255.255.255.0 then yes you would be correct.
If it still doesn't make sense try http://www.learntosubnet.com Allen ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Green" To: Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 8:22 AM Subject: quick response (help) please [7:24238] > the IP address alloted by the dhcp server to my home > computer (via cable ie cable modem connection) is > > IP address 24.15.125.255 > subnet mask 255.255.248.0 > def gw 24.15.125.1 > > ok look ar the last quad .... it is 255 !!! > i can't believe this. > > do you how this is possible ? 0 and 255 are rserved > for network and broadcast addresses..... > > please email me asap........... > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Make a great connection at Yahoo!
