That would do it. When I run across this, I delete the bad subnet and
quickly rediscover the good guys. If they get there first, you should
be ok. Then go fix the masks on the bad guys. I find that almost all
of the time, if Netview is drawing something goofy, there is something
goofy in your network. The biggest benefit of putting in the product
is the way it flushes out configuration anomalies.

Subject: Re: [NV-L] Variable subnet Masks and netview
David,
Yes, this is exactly what we are doing. And in my original message I indeed
thought that Netview was applying a 30 bit mask to 32 bit mask addresses.
I have in the meantime, however, checked the Object ID information, and it
seems
that Netview indeed discovers them with the correct masks.
However, I think that I am getting a bit closer to the source of the
problem.
There is another uncontrolled (Read "rogue", "bunch of cowboys"...) network
with
the same address. 10.1.0.0 and mask of 255.255.0.0 !!!???
I suspect that this might be the culprit confusing Netview.
So, I have two networks with the same names, but different masks. Pretty
confusing.......
This is where I will start looking to resolve this problem.
Any suggestions are still welcome.
Thanks for the help
