If you want to know what is your network (all hosts bits set to 0) based on the subnet mask, you can use:

route print

To find out this, you need your IP address in conjunction with your subnet mask.
You need a subnet calculator.
There are several ones on the Internet.

I use any of the following:

Hope it helps.
