![]() ![]() ![]() You really don't want to have 16777214 (2^24 - 2) hosts on the same network segment. But internally you're able to subnet as you see fit. Yes, 10.x.x.x is a class A network, and when interacting with other networks(*) it has a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. Part of your question is that you're confusing your subnet mask with what you read the default is for your class of address. My guess is you're stuck with this because of this is how your ISP does things. This may or may not be cut down by your router, which would be one usable address for your computer. Since you can't use all zeros (network id) and you can't use all 1s (broadcast message) you have (bits^2) - 2 => (2^2) - 2 => 2 usable addresses. Your question "how many hosts" is actually simple to answer.
