You can trust me that I know _exactly_ what I'm talking about here. You might want to check my professional background to verify. > The netmask he uses makes it a class C subnet (out of a class A address > space) > You would use a /8 netmask for a class A network. "The netmask he uses makes it a class C subnet" is totally wrong. Classes were address ranges, in which a subnet mask was implicit. NOT the other way 'round. To be precise 12.12.12.0/24 doesn't exist in Classful Thinking at all, so speaking about "this is Class X" is wrong anyway. "They are /24s of of the former Class A range" is the only correct statement about these two networks. Anyway, this is off-topic here and was meant to go via private mail in the first place, my fault. If you bother to follow up (please AFTER reading a good book on networking history), do so via private mail. Daniel
