Ok, I'm not quite shut up. I just wanted to mentio that a useful tool on every Linux/Unix system for doing netmask calculation is 'dc', if you have trouble doing binary conversions in your head. Just set the input or output base to binary, e.g.: dc 2 o 248 p 11111000 and you have the netmask pattern for 255.255.248.0. (Well, everyone knows 255 = 11111111). The other way: dc 2 i 11100000 p 224 So you know that a 19-bit netmask would be 255.255.224.0. (Yeah, there are all SORTS of IP calculators out there--software and hardware. But 'dc' is, as I said, ubiquitous ...)
