[ale] Local IP Non-Pingable on LAN from different Class C

[Christopher R. Curzio]

No, that's not a typo. Obviously, I need 255.255.252.0 so machines on
192.168.0.0/24 can communicate with machines on 192.168.1.0/24.

And yes, 192.168.0.255 IS the correct broadcast for 192.168.0/24, but
you're forgetting that I have the second class C.
