That's incorrect. You can't use the first and last IP addresses in a subnet. In the case of a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, that would be 0 and 255. 0 is the subnet ID and 255 is broadcast. One IP address must be used for the gateway, and generally it is the first address (but doesn't have to be) after the subnet ID, so 1 would be the gateway. In a NAT setup, you may be using a PC as a gateway, in which case using 1 is quite acceptable. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: plone.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
