Netmask

[Michael J. McGillick]

Afternoon:

I'm trying to understand how netmasks work.  We want to set up a small
pool of IP Addresses, and the only thing we can do is specify the network
and the netmask.  They want the pool to start at 192.168.1.85, and have 5
usuable IP Addresses.  What do I specify for the netmask, and more
importantly, why?  I understand about setting up a network range, when the
network is specified at 0, but this 80 is throwing off my thinking.

Anyone help?

- Mike
