Correct. I've fixed the handbook section now to use 192.168.0.255 as the end of the Class C network address range, in revision 1.338 of the file doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install/chapter.sgml,v Thanks for your submission, and I apologize for not catching this minor fix earlier. The fixed version of the relevant section will appear online after the next scheduled rebuild of our web site, in a few hours :-) Regards, Giorgos --RnlQjJ0d97Da+TV1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFdDSo1g+UGjGGA7YRAupGAJ48XE9z8ETfs2oUmN+jnBClbWKq9ACdF5S2 6L1a1ytffrk1Zwf+4OqKTNg= =Spcf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --RnlQjJ0d97Da+TV1--
