> I am very pleased to see that the isInRange bug has been corrected in 2.1.  I would like to suggest the additional change to the isInRange method (or perhaps some polymorphism).
> Current:
> private boolean isInRange(int address)      { return ((address-low()) <= (high()-low())); }
> Proposed Fix (I saw in another bug ticket):
> {code}
> private boolean isInRange(int address) {
>     int normal = address - this.low;
>     return (normal >= 0 && normal <= (this.high - this.low))
> }
> {code}
> I would argue that the network address and the broadcast address, while not viable IPs to be assigned, are still technically in the range of the network, so I would request that the method be updated as follows (or perhaps a new method or flag you could pass to determine if you want to include the network and broadcast address):
> {code}
> private boolean isInRange(int address) {
>     int normal = address - this.network;
>     return (normal >= 0 && normal <= (this.broadcast - this.network))
> }
> {code}
> Polymorphism route:
> {code}
> private boolean isInRange(int address) {
>     return isInRange(address, false);
> }
> private boolean isInRange(int address, boolean fullRange) {
>     int myLow;
>     int myHigh;
>     if (fullRange) {
>         myLow = this.network;
>         myHigh = this.broadast;
>     }
>     else {
>         myLow = this.low;
>         myHigh = this.high;
>     }
>     int normal = address - myLow;
>     return (normal >= 0 && normal <= (myHigh - myLow));
> }
> {code}
