/30 refers to the number of bits in the network section of the subnet mask. or that there are two bits to make up the host section.

A subnet is 32 bits normally expressed in the / notation or as 4 8 bit octects in decimal, ie 255.255.255.0 is 11111111.1111111.11111111.00000000 in binary or /24

This is the minimum needed to provide 2 usable addresses and is therefore the most suitable for a point to point network link etc. Those 2 bits would give you 4 addresses.

0- Network address
1-End A
2-End B
3-Broadcast address

Lesson over

Whats the "Networking A++" exam?

Never heard of it.

And if you want to learn, arrange with your manager for you to sit with one of the guys that knows for half a day a week.

You will learn more in real-life situations than from a book

Sorry my bad, it's actually called the Certiguid Network+ exam.

I have asked to sit with the engineers so many times now I've lost my voice. it's just not going to happen here as no-one ever has time during work hours. :(

Wouldn't waste my money - not anything I recognise (but then I am not in the field of having to know those things)

Get yourself over to www.routergod.com and get celebrity chicks to tell you how this stuff works.

Its true.

Just some of the topics you can learn about

Courtney Love explains the basics of BGP
Jennifer Connolly on CCIE Lab Changes
Juliette Lewis Troubleshoots Frame Relay
Paris Hilton On CCIE /Storage
Gillian Anderson on LAN Switching Part 1
Gillian Anderson on LAN Switching Part2
Has to be the BEST site for finding out a bit about this stuff, as its aimed at people with little or no knowledge of the subject.

I wish I'd never asked! So how do I get my commodore 64 do get a dot to bounce around the screen?

P.S. I think my admin password is set to default but won't the WPA PSK security do da stop people getting into it?

Do you know how easy it is to crack even WPA

No?

Please ignore the guy behind your curtains with the laptop.

(but if you could bring e a cup of tea, and maybe a biscuit, that would be great)

There is no such thing as too much security.

Ask not "Am I being Paranoid"
Ask "Am I being Paranoid ENOUGH"

Router password changed. Now how can I check that all you dodgy scrotes can't get into my router from wherever you are?
