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.
