The country named Aram in the Bible is now called Syria, which lies to the north of Israel and east of present day Lebanon, and which capital was and still is Damascus.

Hence, the IP address 129.7.1.10 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 indicates the network number is 129.7.1.0. A 24-bit network number leaves a host part of 8 bits. That is a network with space for 254 hosts.
If your network is, or will be, connected to the Internet, you will need to get a unique network address from your ISP or network administrator. How much of any given address is the network part and how much is the host part is determined by the class of the network. In each case, the part of the address not used for the network portion is left as the host portion. Table A-1 describes how IP address classes are organized.
