Re: SBS 2003 - SBS 2008 migration preparation

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.
