I can't remember where I found the info on this before so I'll ask here. The machines on my LAN are addressed as 192.168.51.x and I can refer to them as 192.168.51.0/24 for all 255 addresses. What would the equivilent of that be for the whole range of 192.168.x.y/z ?

192.168.xxx.xxx/16. Each Octet represents 8 binary digits (bits). You want to identify the first 2 octets as your network, so your subnet mask needs to be 16 bits long.
