You should ignore what you know about classful addressing, and look up CIDR. Your eth0 is in the network 10.0.0.0/7. The range of this network is 10.0.0.0-11.255.255.255. 10.0.0.0/8 is 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255. I can't think why anyone would have a single subnet containing approx 33 million ip addresses. The only real downside I can see, is you won't be able to talk to any "real" ip addresses in 11.0.0.0/8 Cheers, Dan -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
