The above netmask isn't wrong, just unusual.  The 10.* block was
originally part of the Class A network block, technically meaning a subnet
mask of 255.0.0.0 (i.e. the first octet is the network number, the other 3
are the host number), but most people would subnet a network that large
anyway, so you're "Class C" subnet mask would work just fine, provided you
get all the other numbers correct.

This is definitely wrong.  It should've been:

broadcast 10.0.0.255

Fine.

Fine.

Nope.  The way this works is that the netmask has all binary 1's in the
_network_ portion of the address and 0's in the _host_ portion, while the
broadcast address has the actual network number in the network portion and
all 1's in the _host_ portion.  Thus, it should be:

broadcast 192.168.1.255

Let me know if the above works.

Later.
