Can you subnet a Class C address, say by using a mask like 255.255.255.128?
We have two Novell networks that we are with an Ethernet bridge between them.
Right now, it looks like we will need three Class C address for this:
one for each ring, and one for the Ethernet bridge. Since the rings are only
going to have like 20 or 30 clients on each, it seems extremely wasteful to
use 3*255 potential addresses to serve 60 clients.
