Subnet mask needs to be the same for all the machines on the network. Typically on a home network, the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 (known as a /24 or 24 bit network), and this will provide enough scope for 254 hosts on your network (including your router). The subnet mask you've specified would give you 65534 hosts - many many more hosts than a home network would ever need, and to be honest, more hosts than most corporate networks need! -- Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
