Correctimundo. Well, provided the IP stack understands subnet masking
properly - no guarantees with M$ stuff. :-)

The network address will be 192.168.1.32, with the same subnet mask. You
_must_ specify the subnet mask, or the routing software will either error
out, or ignore you and assume 192.168.1.0 as the network address.
