But let's say you have a class C address block (192.168.0.0/24 for example). Where would you start numbering things off? At the router, server, etc? (router = 192.168.0.1, firewall = 192.168.0.2, server = 192.168.0.3, printer = 192.168.0.3 for example). I'm sure people don't apply addresses to machines at random, because that would be almost a nightmare to figure out what's what (unless you have DNS, or something to map it all out). > > Anyways, I just wanted to know if there are any undocumented standards or conventions to the application of IP addresses. > > Thanks! > > Joey > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > Nettaxi MP3 Player, Burner, Ripper - NEW Version 2.0!!!
