iptables: how to take a whole network in account?

Hi!

in order to allow an IP to to everything, I do this:
Quote:
iptables -I INPUT 1 -s zzz.yyy.zzz.xxx -j ACCEPT
now I would like to allow all computers of a network to do anything. But doing this
Quote:
iptables -I INPUT 1 -s zzz.yyy.zzz. -j ACCEPT
isn't accepted.
how should I write it?

specify the network subnet, like:
Code:
iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT
or alternatively, specify an IP range, like:
Code:
iptables -I INPUT -m iprange --src-range \
192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254 -j ACCEPT
