Hello, im well aware on how to setup the ip block with my router however just out of interest does anyone know what the Network and Broadcast IP are for?

Without going into any kind of detail:-

The Network Address is just that. It's where packets addressed to your network are sent.

The Broadcast Address is the address used by your PCs when they send broadcasts for information.

Ok, thanks. That makes sense now.
