RE: No netmask specified for home network

Used 10.1.14.0/24 too and still got the same error. 
No clue why?

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,

You cannot use 10.1.14/24 either. You will need to
make it 10.1.14.0/24. the
x.x.x.0 is the start of any /24 network block. If
your IP address starts
with 10.1.14 and your subnet is 255.255.255.0, then
use 10.1.14.0/24 as
HOME_NET. That should fix it!

Thanks for your help.

I used 10.1.14/24 as a home_net before and I still
got
the same error.  (255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask).

I really do not know what's wrong with it.

Thanks,

Are you using a cable/dsl router? If so you're
netmask can't be /32. What's
your subnet mask set to on your TCP/IP Properties
for your ethernet? This
number should relate to the slashnotation address
to
enter as HOME_NET.
Although you need to convert the 255.255.255.xxx
number to slash notation
(see below) 

Let me know if you have any other questions or if
that doesn't help!

Here's a subnetting cheat sheet too:
