Assuming you meant the address range > 192.138.3.100 to 192.138.3.150, the closest bitmask would be /26. (Which > actually allows the range up to 192.138.3.162.) > > Daniel T. Staal
What you are running into are bit masks. Rather than listing them out for you it would be easier if you googled for a subnet calculator. Then you would see what ranges and options you have. Basically if you start with 256 and divide it in half and keep on going you'll see which ranges are available and with the calculator you'll see what mask that is. You cannot pick a number like 100 and start a subnet on it. It must be on the border of 2,4,8,16,32 etc, starting at 0. 96 is the number closest to 100 for any larger range of IP's. -- Bulk _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
