Actually, he was talking about the '/xx' after the ip, which is typically
used to denote the subnet mask of the ip.

People refer to xxx as a wildcard. Its like a range. If you say: 216.x.x.x
that means any IP from 216. Its almost like "*" a wildcard used for most
things. My ip address is usually a 172.x.x.x everytime i connect online I
get the first 3 numbers, but the rest changes. Wildcard means anything in
that IP.

Hi All,

In some previous posts I have noticed people refering to their IP address
range as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx.

Just curious as to what the /xx refers to.  Is it some type of range?

TIA
