Re: single host netmask (255.255.255.255)




Is single host netmask allowed on ethernet interface in Windows 2000? I need to assign IP 10.1.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.255 to ETH interface, but i`v got following error message: "Invalid IP or subnet mask address". As I remember, dial-up DHCP requested address come normally with this mask..... Wha is wrong??????

I think you remember wrong, fresch up your you basic tcp/ip knowledge.

The smallest usable net consists of 4 adresses (netmask 255.255.255.252)

First adress (host part all zero) is the net address.
Then come two addresses for hosts, you use on for your host and one for the default gateway (you want to talk to someone aren't you ?)
Last address is the broadcast address.
