Excuse me, I got a bit distracted with feeding my baby girl.
The 255 is the broadcast address- this is address to send packets to in
order to reach every computer on the subnet (used by M$ networking for
netbios naming and elections).
Netmask will default to the same as the ip where this has not been set
yet.
