Matt,
Regarding the Subnet Calc iPhone app, it looks good and is a breeze to use.
However, I am curious why it calculates the maximum number of available hosts incorrectly. It does not to take account of the Broadcast address.
For example, the opening example network of 192.168.0.0/24 states there are a max of 256 host addresses. With 8 host bits, it should state 254 hosts max (or 255, if host of all 0’s is allowed).

Hi David,
Yes I’ve had this asked a few times. I do agree that the “maximum number of hosts” is technically 254 in your example case, but I prefer to think of it as 256 and then take the 2 off in my head. Those 2 IPs are usable in the sense that you might, well, use them. OK you can’t have a host using it as it’s IP address… but…
I think it’s a minor point, but a very good one to make. I’m always looking for feedback and so if there’s anything else then please do just let me know.
Many thanks for using Subnet Calc Pro!

Just got Subnet Calc (lite).
Really lean and nice program! Cool!
I have a small request:
In the lower part the first two datalines are showing
ip …
netmask …
As ‘IP’ is redundant (same as the input field right at the top) and the netmask is “only” the numerical display of the bitmask, I’d like to put in an idea:
Make the lower part (Subnet Calculation) sortable so that anyone can change the order of the rows as he whishes.
Or:
Pls hardcode ‘hostmin’ and ‘hostmax’ as the first two display lines if suggestion 1.) is too complex.
Anyway:
Many thanks for your App!
Regards

@Holger – Excellent idea. I think I’ll add in the ability to reorder the rows which then gets saved for each time you load the app.
The reason for having IP address again in the calculation section is that when you view in hexadecimal or binary mode then it makes sense to have the IP visible in this notation, but to still be able to enter it in the standard dotted decimal manner.
