Can you think of a shortcut for calculating the network addresses of consecutive /30 subnets?

/30 masks all but 2 bits of an address. That means we can have 4 nodes. Node 0 is the network address. Node 3 is the broadcast address. That's by TCP/IP spec, so you just have nodes 1 & 2 to play with, and one of those would (among other things) need to be a router.
