stupid ip question
 
hi all

so i am playing around with dhcp file, why i do not know. just wanted to mess around with it.

anyway i added this entry that's giving me an error:

/var/lib/dhcp///etc/dhcpd.conf line 35: subnet 192.168.33.132 netmask 255.255.255.128: bad subnet number/mask combination.
subnet 192.168.33.132 netmask 255.255.255.128
^
Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting

Why is that a bad combo?

Thanks
davy

the subnet address needs to be the first in the subnet. So it should be 192.168.33.128.
