I'm hoping that you can point out what i'm missing here. I
have a server
(router0) with a public ip 41.123.234.74/29 that's using an internet
modem 41.123.234.73/29 as a gateway.
If I'm not mistaken, an IP address with a /XX at the end is used to
define a *range* of addresses, not a single address. You'd use it to
give the range of addresses on your LAN, or that your DHCP server is set
to give out. It's not appropriate when giving a specific machine's IP
address unless my understanding of the terminology is worse than I think
it is. I don't *think* this is part of the issue, here, but it may be
obscuring what's going on. If nothing else, leaving off where it
doesn't apply may help avoid confusion.
Hi Joe,
I was just doing that for completeness so that you would knwo that they are in the same
subnet, ie, the same /29 cidr.
