Because that would only allow one address, and two are reserved (One for broadcast, one for a gateway).
So that would mean that the lowest possible subnet mask which would be usable would be 255.255.255.252, with three spare addresses. Even so, this would only allow one additional terminal on the network.

2 different subnet masks can be used on 1 subnet?
No, all subnets must use the same subnet mask
What is the correct subnet mask to use for a class-B address to support 30 networks and also have the most hosts possible?
This question is unanswered.
What would someone use a subnet mask calculator for?
Someone would use a subnet mask calculator for splitting a network into sub networks. It is sometimes used to ease congestion on a network and divert traffic.
What do you use whe the IP addresses available are not contiguous?
I'm not sure what you mean by Contiguous. As long as the IP's are on the same subnet it doesn't matter which one they get from the range. THe Subnet mask, Gateway and possibly DNS addresses all need to be the same but the IP can be anything from the range. Use DHCP if possible so you know all your PC get the same network configuration. If this is a subnet issue then simply set the subnet mask appropriatley for your IP range - use an online calulator if you need help doing this.
Which process do routers use to determine the subnet network address based upon a given IP address and subnet mask?
binary ANDing

If you had 500 machines which you wanted on the same LAN what subnet mask would you use?
It depends, you could use 255.255.254.0 which will allow you 512 machines, however you are limiting yourself to 512 as a maximum. You can calculate any subnet mask you like at www.subnetmask.info
Give an example of a classful subnet mask give an example of a classless subnet mask?
Subnet masks that use either all ones or all zeroes in an octet are called classful subnet masks. 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000), 255.255.0.0 (11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000), 255.0.0.0 (11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000)
What is subnet mask and default gateway?
Subnet mask is a mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. Default gateway is the gateway in a network that a computer will use to access another network if a gateway is not specified for use.
What is the binart equivalent to the dotted decmal net mask-225.225.192.0?
That's not a valid subnet mask. Probably the subnet mask is supposed to be 255.255.192.0. You can convert each of the parts separated by dots to binary separately. Just use a scientific calculator, for example, the one that comes with Windows. To be a valid subnet mask, the binary equivalent must have a certain number of only ones, followed by only zeros.
Find gateway address subnet mask Linux?
Use the 'ifconfig' command on your adaptor, or just 'ifconfig -a'
If you have decided to create 254 subnets on your class B network what subnet mask will you use to accomplish this?
255.255.255.0
