I dont believe this is correct but I will have to think about it bear with me
as I do so in written form.
The notation given is really saying the same thing.
64.184.117.0/28 means your network starts at 64.184.117.0 and the first 28 bits
are used for the network.
The netmask of 255.255.255.240 is an older notation for the /28.
255.255.255.240 in binary is three octets of all ones and the 240 is, in binary
if I am not mistaken, 11110000. So.... 3X8 + 4 = 28 bits used for the
network. That leaves the remaing four bits for the host portion.
So what you have I believe is the numbers 64.184.117.0 through 64.184.117.15
yielding 14 usable addresses. The first and last are not usable as host since
the first is the network address and the last is the subnet broadcast.
Therefore you should have the use of 64.184.117.1 - 64.184.117.14 as hosts.
I believe this is correct but one of the gurus will probably have stepped in by
the time I get this written and sent.
Hope this helps. At least the network started at a 0 in the last octet. I
really get a headache trying to visualize it if it is not.
