Hi all,

The document "Windows Small Business Server 2008 Migrate to Windows
Small Business Server 2008 from Windows Small Business Server 2003 "
Version: 5

States on page 11 of "Verify the network configuration..." page:

"ensure that the IP address on the network adapter that is in the router
and that connects to your LAN is set to either 192.169.x.1 or
192.168.x.254, where x is a number from 1 to 254."

Does this really mean '0' cannot be used and that the standard
192.168.0.1 - 254 'c' class network is no longer acceptable?

Could anyone confirm zero's are ok in 2008 ip addressing?

Thanks

Hi AC:

I prefer not to use either 0 or 1, as many home systems use these for the
third octet. You can use any number you like from 0 to 255, but 0, 1, 254,
and 255 are all best avoided. I still use 16 because I am a holdover from
prior versions.

There is no "standard" for a Class C subnet, except that it starts 192.168
in order to be non routable. There are others, some in the 10. range and
some in the 172. range.
