The .0 address is routinely the network number, not a usable IP address --- but this is only because CIDR blocks used as IP nets are routinely /24 and smaller. Consider the perfectly legitimate IP network (in RFC 1918 space, for illustration purposes) 10.0.0.0/23 Here are the relevent details: 255.255.255.128 netmask
I suspect you really are going for 255.255.254.0 as the netmask here. :-) Ric
