Re: [Staffslug] File servers?

OK...Where i've written 192.168.x.x what i suppose i shoudl have written would have been 192.168.x.y where x is your chosen third octet (which would not be the same in every network hence the wildcard element) and y are the host bits. So no. What i meant was a class C network. <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1918.html> With regards to your /21 subnetted network. This fellow has suggested that he's going to use 192.168.100.0 for his server IP Address....i doubt he has knowledge of subnetting hence why i simplified down to just /24 networks. I could have gone all out and started asking how many hosts he requires and gone into VLSM but I didn't think that appropriate. Would you?? Also RE: 192.168 being a valid class B network, ok yes point made and taken but, private address ranges as dictated by IANA in RFC 1918 <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1918.html><http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc... suggest that you should not be using 192.168.whatever networks as class b private ranges but instad 172.16. networks. So if i was talking about a class B private network i wouldn't be using 192.168.x.y would i?? Joe On 05/03/2008, Andy Smith <andy(a)lug.org.uk&gt; wrote:
