Correct, the .192 seperates a normal /24 into units of /26, or 64 ip addresses minus the network and broadcast addresses of course. Don't know if I misread what you meant up there in this context though, but the .192 also allows ranges like: 0-63, 64-127, 128-191, 192-255 But I think you knew that ;) -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best Cum angelis et pueris, fideles inveniamur.
