[X4U] Update Numbering

[Richard Gilmore]

I know I'm awful! Slap me! I make "allowances" for IP numbers! :)

I know it's not "that" simple but I cannot help but be confused by the
numbering system and knowing that math is at the heart of computing just
makes this more baffling to me.

Peace out

Richard
