AD Replication strangeness

Another very short note, after deploying 3 AD Servers, 1 as PDC and the others as BDCs, I couldnt get a BDC at another site to replicate the AD structures etc.
Tried all the troubleshooting on the MS site (couldn't understand a lot of it but that will come with time and more experience) but I did remember this one tip.
Whatever is the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.

I had the subnet mask set incorrectly on the server that was causing the problem, a quick change of that to be 255.255.0.0 (rather than 255.0.0.0) and we were sorted and replicating happily.
