What's your subnet?

I was thinking that some of the tmwAthena config files needed better documentation or defaults, and would appreciate knowing what subnets most people are on.

To get this information, open a terminal and type ifconfig (Linux/Mac) or ipconfig (Windows)
example output for Windows:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.104
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

example output for Linux, under eth0
inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
which means I select poll option '192.168.*.0/24 (255.255.255.0)', which I believe is typical for most home routers (but I'm not sure). (my router has a config option to choose what * is)
(This corresponds to my internal router; my ISP-provided router gives 10.*.*.*/24 (255.255.255.0) instead)

You may have more than one network card - for example, wireless versus wired - or connect to more than one router at different times. Please select all that apply (excluding the local loopback, of course).

Some devices listed may not have an address, for example I have wmaster0 with no inet addr.

255.255.255.0 is fine, it is what most people use for their private networks (especially if they dont know what you are talking about and just using the "internet box")
