Whatmask is a small C program that will help you with network settings.
Initial import of whatmask-1.0 Whatmask is a small C program that lets you easily convert between three common subnet mask notations. Notations supported: Name Example --------------------------------- CIDR /24 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Wilcard Bits 0.0.0.255 The above notations are all identical. CIDR notation commonly has a "/" in front of the number (representing the number of bits). Whatmask can accept these notations with or without a slash. This notation is used more and more recently. A lot of popular routers and software supprt this notation. Netmask notation is pretty much the standard old-school way of doing it. It is supported by most systems (Un*x, Win, Mac, etc.). Wilcard bits are similar to the netmask, but they are the logical not of the netmask. This notation is used by a number of popular routers.

Whatmask can work in two modes. The first mode (which is how prior
versions worked) is to invoke Whatmask with only a subnet mask as the
argument. In this mode Whatmask will echo back the subnet mask in four
formats, plus the number of useable addresses in the range.
