Thanks
Sorry about the net mask. I know in the 255.x.x.x terms. Never got to
grappling with the /8, /16 etc.

Not really. Look around in /usr/src/linux-version/net/ipv4/
Anyway, I suggest you just stick to private addresses;
256 /24 nets; 192.168.x.x
16 /16 nets; 172.16.x.x through 172.31.x.x
1 /8 net; 10.x.x.x
These nets will never be routed on the internet.
Also you seemed to have net length meaning confused;
/24 is 255.255.255.0
/16 is 255.255.0.0
/8 is 255.0.0.0
/n means netmask with n number of ones.
