For example, in a NAT config file, I see options with values like:
192.168.0.0/24 and
192.168.0.1/32
So what do the 24 and the 32 mean? Do they indicate ranges of IP addresses?

they indicate the CIDR notation of IP. The number refers to the subnet mask in "bits" form so in your case "24" would be 24 bits or
11111111.11111111.11111111.000000 or 255.255.255.0
If you need to know more about binary lets us know and we can pass it on.

You are right, it indicates the ranges of the IP's, you only have certain amounts of addresses...
192.168 indicates what kind of network is; in this case is a class "C", 0. indicates the network you are logged on, and the .24, .32 indicates the number of computer in the network. It doesn't mean thats the 32nd computer, it means the ID of the computer in that sepecific subnet.

The 24 means how many bits are in that octet or subnet mask. Network gurus call them 24 bit mask and 32 bit mask. It just lets them know how many computers can fit on that subnet. Its kind of hard to explain because I am not good with subnetting, but it all goes with networks and subnets.
