Umm, yes, by definition: Class A addresses: 1.0.0.0-126.0.0.0 (broadcast and network included) Class B addresses: 128.1.0.0-191.254.0.0 (broadcast and network included) Class C addresses: 192.0.1.0-223.255.254.0 (broadcast and network included) The addresses you speak of are a series of contiguous Class C addresses. Merely because you are defining the entire Class C range of 200.*.*.* does not make it a class A network. We're not talking about supernetting either. Sure, we're arguing semantics but just by defining a set of conditions based merely on the first octet of an IP address still does not make it a class A network. If you don't believe me ask a router.

If a class C needed to be blocked, it would be something like 192.168.0.* or 192.168.100.*. So, class A = 192.***.***.*** 16,581,375 addresses class B = 192.168.***.*** 65,025 addresses class C = 192.168.100.*** 255 addresses MB -- e-mail: vidiot@xxxxxxxxxx /~\ The ASCII \ / Ribbon Campaign [So it's true, scythe matters.
