	Actually, you are wrong. Note that network and subnet are not the
same. 192.168.100.0 is a C class network that can be subnetted to 13
different subnets using given mask (or 15 with 0 and "broadcast" subnets): 

192.168.100.0-15
192.168.100.16-31
192.168.100.32-63
192.168.100.64-79
192.168.100.80-95
192.168.100.96-111
192.168.100.112-127
192.168.100.128-143
192.168.100.144-159
192.168.100.160-175
192.168.100.176-191
192.168.100.192-207
192.168.100.208-223
192.168.100.224-239
192.168.100.240-255


	With this in mind, valid hosts are:

	( ) 192.168.100.16     <- subnet 192.168.100.16/28
	( ) 192.168.100.239    <- broadcast for 192.168.100.224/28
	(*) 192.168.100.151
	( ) 192.168.100.176    <- subnet 192.168.100.176/16
	(*) 192.168.100.61
	(*) 192.168.100.49


Marko.

P.S. I think I made some calculation error with those 13 and 15 subnets, but
I'm totally unable to find out what :-(
