Hi Ryan,

 What you have is called a host route. Buggered if I know what you do with
it in terms of how Melb wireless is supposed to be configured for routing,
but I thought that it was something that you assigned to a router core.

 (meaning the router 'guts' not any of its interfaces. This is handy as you
don't have to worry about knowing which interfaces are up or down if you
want to connect to the router. example, if a link goes down and you need to
connect to the router to find out what's going on, it is not much help if
you assign the DNS name of the router to one of it's interfaces, as itmay be
to one that has gone down. So you assign an IP to the router itself, not
related to any interface in any way, and you connect to it using whatever
route or interface is up at the time. )

 But I could be wrong..... ;)

Regards,
Gaz.

Alrighty......

So, these two IP's were dished out by Locfinder for two of my routing nodes.

172.16.90.249/32
172.16.90.251/32

So, that would mean equate to the following configs....

IP 172.16.90.249
MASK 255.255.255.255
Broadcast 172.16.90.249
Network 172.16.90.249

and

IP 172.16.90.251
MASK 255.255.255.255
Broadcast 172.16.90.251
Network 172.16.90.251

Now, not knowing a lot about tcp/ip, subnets, routing etc...... I put it to
you, that these two PC's will not be able to communicate with eachother with
those configs.

Can someone please either tell me i'm wrong/stupid and correct me.  Or tell
me I'm right and what's going on.
