I just wanted to know :) Tim Greer 10-11-2001, 12:46 AM 255... wouldn't what be like over 4 billion combinations possible? I don't think that's right. JTY 10-11-2001, 12:47 AM Tim, You're right... except that so many different parts of the address space are reserved for weird junk, like multicasting... rockergrrl 10-11-2001, 12:49 AM I believe they're thinking about adding another sequence to the IP address to add more IPs dektong 10-11-2001, 12:57 AM Originally posted by JTY Tim, You're right... except that so many different parts of the address space are reserved for weird junk, like multicasting... For example, you can't have IP with 10.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x . Any other? cheers, :beer: Tim Greer 10-11-2001, 01:01 AM Originally posted by dektong For example, you can't have IP with 10.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x . Any other? cheers, :beer: Yeah, I know....
