Remember, Windows (and Linux), will allow you to create any invalid network
configuration that you would like. You have to have a solid understanding
of IP in order to administer a network correctly. Anyone daring to use two
IPs from different address classes on a single network wire should know
enough about IP to not have to ask any questions.
