See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork If all the machines in question have the same netmask, and the same IP address prefix (where the length of the prefix is determined by the netmask), then they're on the same subnet. With respect to broadcast packets, it may also be necessary that all the machines are on the same Ethernet segment - connected together via a switch or hub, rather than a router. (A broadband router with a built-in switch is considered a switch in this context as long as all the machines are on the LAN side of the switch.) So if you have a bunch of machines attached to a switch with addresses like 192.16.0.X and a netmask of 255.255.255.0, then X can be 0 to 255 and considered to be part of the same subnet. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
