If I switch to static IP

192.168.1.0 is a shorthand representing your router and all of the
computers in your network, which can have IP addresses between
192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254. It's fine.

But then it would let through anything from 1 to 254 and is not as secure as
limiting the range to just what I need, right?

I believe that you can re-install NAV without installing NIS. Check
the product documentation.

I strongly recommend dropping this thread and posting any future
messages in a new thread with a subject title that describes what
you're asking about.

Steve, I'll reload NAV from my XP disk.

Yes, I'll stop using this thread. Thanks for all your help.

The entire 192.168.1.x IP address range is reserved for private
networks. Computers connected directly to the Internet can't have
such IP addresses. No one on the Internet can access such an address
on your network.

If you want to limit the range further, that's fine, too.
