I mistakenly thought that 24 was the upper range of the last component of the IP address. I've seen the x.x.x.x/n notation but had forgotten about it. OK, probably an easy mistake to make if you don't use the notation regularly. As Anders has noted, the /24 defines the netmask to be the top 24 bits.. so /24 is the same as a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Some applications allow you to use them interchangeably, and that can get very confusing at times.
