Hi !
Thank you for the information. What do the classes mean and what is old
style - and i guess there is then a new style too.
I set up my local net at home with the adresses 198.0.0.1 and 198.0.0.2
and as far as i got to my first steps in Linux-networking i can ping my W95
and i can ping my Linux from each other puter. Telneting from W95 to Linux
works great, too.
So why do you say that it has to be 198.162.x.x ? What is wrong with
198.0.x.x ?
