On a similar note, I have a network of 32 machines, but to connect up
properly with the Campus Ether, I have to use two separate masks.  Our
Network Administration also will not give me my own subnet, so I am kindof
stuck, since they won't connect me up until I know it'll work properly.
They don't want me clobbering other machines on the network (I have before,
attempting to get it to work) and aren't quite happy wiht me.  Here's
my setup:

---------------------------------------------------------------
addr=129.65.45.xx     |  mask=ff.ff.ff.00 (has to be this)
external              |
router=129.65.45.250  |  campus_ether 
                      |
                      |
                      |
                  ----------
                  | Novell |
                  | V 3.11 |
                  ----------
                      |
                      |
                      | mask=ff.ff.ff.e0 ?????? Can I use this?
-----------------------------------------------------------
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 
32 local machines, each with their own ip address
129.65.45.yy

When I try and bind ip to the "local" network, Novell gives me
the error:
Warning: Subnetwork mask disagrees with mask used with <ip of campus_ether>

Will my 32 machines be able to contact the outside world and vice versa?
I will be running mail and possibly ftp & telnet for a limited number
of users in the future.  

Will this setup work?
Or do I have to purchase a $700 repeater?
