yes

the last bit is a bad regular expression, remember it matches charaters not 
what you want it to match.  The [3-25] bit says match anything from '3' up 
to '2' or '5'.  here is a simple way to get what you want:

 grep '192\.168\.0\.[3-9][^0-9]' old.nbe >new.nbe
 grep '192\.168\.0\.1[0-9][^0-9]' old.nbe >>new.nbe
 grep '192\.168\.0\.2[0-5][^0-9]' old.nbe >>new.nbe

Now there are more compact ways of doing it but this should be clearer

man grep for the details

good luck,
