Hi,

Luckily I can determine my own adresses since I don't have a connection
to the net (yet).
So...If I want an IP adress like 128.139.0.0 (for reasons only known to
me...actually I have an X-server for win95 I wanna try that's only
licenced  for this range of adresses :-) and a subnetmask like
255.255.0.0
The network adress would be 128.0.0.0?
And the broadcast adress 128.0.255.255? (just a guess...)

Where can I find some documentation on this subject (RFC number, other)

BTW: Thanx for your quick answer :-)

Regards,

Ferdinand
