That's impossible to say, as it depends entirely on your local network, though typically it would be 255.255.255.0 or /24.

Primm, I must applaud you for your good response. When I read the original posting, I started cracking up. Lynn, You would have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 if everything on your local network will use the 192.168.1.X range. If you would incorporate another "Subnet" (ie. 192.168.2.X), you would have a subnet of 255.255.254.0. There is alot more to this, and that is really just a basic basic thing I showed. Your subnet mask would vary depending on network needs. Ben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
