Raw message

Ok lets preface this with I may be retarded but:

I want to increase the DHCP range so I changed the subnet mask to say 
255.255.240.0 (just an example) LAN IP 192.168.10.2

After the change I could no longer ping the grase box from another router 
like it cannot see it (router wan IP is using the same subnet mask).

Change it back to 255.255.255.0 and I can ping it again.

How can I increase the number of DHCP addresses available?
