IP addresses follow classes out of tradition. Take the first octet, and convert it to binary. If it starts with a:
1, its a class E, which was never actually used.
01, is class D, and is for multicast broadcasts.
001 is class C, or /24, 255.255.256.0
0001 is class B, or /16, 255.255.0.0
And 0000 is class A, or /8, 255.0.0.0
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Occasionally I see something like 192.168.0.0/24. The reference I am looking at now refers to the 24 as the class range. Is it actually the subnet?
How do I convert this into the two IP's that make up the range?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Keith
