Its really conflicting when configuring private IP address on Microsoft network.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;RFC 1918 &quot;<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918" rel="ugc">http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918</a>&quot;&nbsp;uses a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (/16) for the class C range of 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255<br />
<br />
while<br />
<br />
Microsoft uses 255.255.255.0 (/24) in the TCP/IP configuration properties of a NIC<br />
<br />
MS also says that we need to have 255.255.0.0 (/16) while using private IP addresses &quot;<a href="http://ms.helifan.net/technet/network/evaluate/technol/tcpipfund/tcpipfund_ch03.mspx" rel="ugc">http://ms.helifan.net/technet/network/evaluate/technol/tcpipfund/tcpipfund_ch03.mspx</a>&quot;<br />

I am realy confused<br />
<br />
Any idea please?<br />

Default Subnet Mask for Class-C Private IP address range!

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
