255.255.255.0.

Tip: If you are using Private Mode (*HOSTPRIVMODE=1), you will

need to make sure that *HOSTPRIVIP and *HOSTPEERIP are on the

same subnet. If the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, it is safe to use

192.168.x.y for each as long as the x is the same number (0 in the

example screen shot above) and the y is different (1 and 2 in the

example) and between 0 and 254.
