Hiya Mike,
On 06-01-98, whilst lying in the gutter of the information super highway, I 
heard Mike Bilow whispering to Louie Tarpo about subnet ip?,
 MB>      10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255  (10/8 prefix)
 MB>      172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255  (172.16/12 prefix)
 MB>      192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)
OK Mike, I have to admit a gaping hole in my knowledge of IP here. What is 
the difference between a class A, B and C address?
Also, how exactly does subnetting down work out? I know my employer has 10.16 
addresses on a 255.255.248.0 subnet mask which gives 10.16.72.0=10.16.79 on 
my site and I know it's something to do with bitmasks but I start to lose it 
a bit here which could prove embarrasing if anyone asks.
