What is NAT?

What does the /24 mean? I've assigned my Linux machine the IP address
192.168.1.1, the Windows 98 one 192.168.1.2, and the Windows 95 one 192.168.1.3.

Thanks! I Knew there was some utility like winipcfg in Windows, but didn't know
what it was. (By the way, the Win98 machine works fine. It is the Win95 one
where I have the problem.)
Okay, what I see from using winipcfg on both the Win98 machine and the Win95
machine is that when I log on to the ISP the IP address and subnet blocks in
winipcfg get set by the ISP for the Win98 machine, but they remain all zero for
the Win95 machine. And I strongly suspect that that points to the source of
my problem. But I can't find a way to change that behavior. I've checked and
double-checked the settings on both machines to ensure they are identical.
But something obviously isn't. However, I can't figure out what that is...
TIA for any pointers
Cheers!
