ok I'm given the address 112.14.16.87
i know this is a class A address. so the default mask is 255.0.0.0 I am instructed to barrow 8 bits so that gives me a mask of 255.255.0.0 I know that my number of subnets is 254 and my actual number is 252 . and that my network address is 112.14.0.0 i need to know how man host I can have and like the 1st 2 ranges ......anyone give me some help with this....

254 subnets with a total 65536 hosts if that is what you are after

[AnoxieGTO]

now I need the 1st 2 ranges

[monaro_gto]

im not sure that they have given you the right info. Are you an ISP or has an ISP given you this info?

[gto_in_nc]

Sounds like a test question to me. Sticking with classed routing?

If your network address is 112.14.0.0, your address of 112.12.16.87 makes no sense.

Who gave you these addresses? They're still part of a reserved block, I think... I don't think any ISP owns them.
