Hi
This issue came to my attention when I used a network monitor software to 
discover the network and the subnet Ip's came up as answering the pings. I 
dont have a connectivity issue at this point and pinging the 
network/broadcast is not my intention, but the fact is that this is 
happening and I dont know why.
TIA

Hi,
172.24.18.4/30 is the subnet address and not an address host( 172.24.18.5
and 172.24.18.6 and 172.24.18.7 the broadcast address of such subnet )....
Can u pls clarify exaclty what u are trying to get....
You should use ping to reach the hosts and even the broadcast address but
the network address I do not see a reason for doing that....
