I think you want to use CIDR.. I'm don't think you can get them right in the middle, but i think you can get 32 ips by using the subnet mask of: f f f f f f d 0 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1100 0000 or 0xffffffd0 or 255.255.255.192 or (your ip)/26 unless I'm off by a bit then it's 0xffffffe0 or 255.255.255.224 or (your ip)/27 HTH, Eden On Sat, 3 Mar 2001, Mike Starke wrote: > I have yet to figure out how to place an entry in a file > for tcprules that will handle a specific subnet. > I know you can put an entry like 1.2.3. and leave off > the last octet, but that opens the whole class c (as in the above > example) doesn't it?
