Network information on a Raq2
Hi all!
I'll be grateful if someone helps
me. I have been searching in the KB and found something that seems to be
related to what I want to know but I don't understand very much.
I have a Raq2. My provider
initially gave me 5 IP addresses from a total of 16 that came with my Raq2.
All works without problems.
When I requested for another block
of 5 IP addresses, my provider sent me the following information:
IP list: xx.xx.xx.245 to
249
Network:
xx.xx.xx.0
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Broadcast:
xx.xx.xx.255
No site with a IP address under de
form xx.xx.xx.24x works.
Why does my provider now include
Network, Netmask and Broadcast information but didn't the first time they sent
the first block of 5 IP addresses to me?
What can I do? I understand nothing
about Netmask, Broadcast and so on!
Since the IP information is sent to me by my
provider, I suppose it's possible to make any change through the
GUI.
Any help will be very much
appreciated!
Thank you!
Julio
