You could also use 255.255.255.0 with 192.168.2.x. If your > mask were 255.255.254.0, then the address range in your example would be > 192.168.2.x and 192.168.3.x.

I'm confused, then...fortunately I'm not also a network guru, so I have an excuse of sorts...;-) 254 would set the LSB of the byte to 0, wouldn't that allow checking of .0.x and .1.x ranges of address...? Wouldn't the mask for .2.x and .3.x be 255.255.253.0? Tom in NM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
