Networking novice needs help

[Kevin O Connor]

To keep thing simple based on your IP address requirements try using 
255.255.255.240 as your mask This will give you an address range of
192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.1.14 
your current setup is a class B network of 255,251 nodes as the 192.168.1.0 
network you are defining is a class C network address range defined by 
RFC1918 the use of a class B mask will cause you problems without a full 
understanding of what a netmask is.

Kevin
