Not sure about that. You can check it with ipcalc (in the ipcalc package): $ ipcalc 192.168.2.0/32 Address: 192.168.2.0 11000000.10101000.00000010.00000000 Netmask: 255.255.255.255 = 32 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111111 Wildcard: 0.0.0.0 00000000.00000000.00000000.00000000 => Hostroute: 192.168.2.0 11000000.10101000.00000010.00000000 Hosts/Net: 1 Class C, Private Internet So it looks like you need a 31 bit netmask for that address range: $ ipcalc 192.168.2.0/31 Address: 192.168.2.0 11000000.10101000.00000010.0000000 0 Netmask: 255.255.255.254 = 31 11111111.11111111.11111111.1111111 0 Wildcard: 0.0.0.1 00000000.00000000.00000000.0000000 1 => Network: 192.168.2.0/31 11000000.10101000.00000010.0000000 0 HostMin: 192.168.2.0 11000000.10101000.00000010.0000000 0 HostMax: 192.168.2.1 11000000.10101000.00000010.0000000 1 Hosts/Net: 2 Class C, Private Internet, PtP Link RFC 3021 > Once this denies all services I'd set it to /24 to have access to the > whole "subnet" from 192.168.2.0-192.168.2.255 and 127.0.0.1 127.0.1.1 Well you don't seem to be allowed .0 and .255: $ ipcalc 192.168.2.0/24 Address: 192.168.2.0 11000000.10101000.00000010. 00000000 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 = 24 11111111.11111111.11111111. 00000000 Wildcard: 0.0.0.255 00000000.00000000.00000000. 11111111 => Network: 192.168.2.0/24 11000000.10101000.00000010. 00000000 HostMin: 192.168.2.1 11000000.10101000.00000010. 00000001 HostMax: 192.168.2.254 11000000.10101000.00000010. 11111110 Broadcast: 192.168.2.255 11000000.10101000.00000010. 11111111 Hosts/Net: 254 Class C, Private Internet I hope this helps. -- Cheers, Clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
