<message> </message> DearI develop a tool that change the network settings in /etc/network/interfaces the config file must be iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.xx.xx netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.xx.0 broadcast 192.168.xx.255 gateway 192.168.xx.xx In this case when user type 10.1.1.2 and 255.255.0.0 i need to calculate the network address and broadcast.
For a class b network (based on your mask) that would be 10.1.255.255 for the broadcast and probably be 10.1.0.0 (?) for the network. More info there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address But all this is good for private networks only. Hope this helps; Best regards. -- Alexandre Leclerc _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
