It's the number of 1s in the netmask. > How would I compute the appropriate number for my > network? If your netmask is 255.0.0.0, it's 8, 255.255.0.0 is 16, 255.255.255.0 is 24. For other values, just render it in binary and count 1s until you reach a 0. -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
