(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ hi there One of our gateway got 8 IP ADDRESSES 44.138.0.8/39 Can the first address 44.238.0.8 be used ? or it reserved for networking only ? and i have to choose ip address only in the range of the 9-14 ? if the answer is that it can not be used how the main router at UCSD treat for ping attempts coming for 44.138.0.8 ?

Normally, the first IP is the network address/identifier, the last IP is the broadcast address, and the remaining are usable. So for a /29, there are 6 useable addresses out of 8 total.
