Network Address getting assigned to client and ping not working (ver 4.2.2)

[Flex Banana]

subnet 7.7.0.0/16 is equal to a range from 7.7.0.0 to 7.7.255.254

7.7.0.0 is the network address
7.7.255.255 is the broadcast address

you don't have to exclude all .0 and .255 because there will not be assigned
