Dear Hans, You need to change the subnet mask of the hosts to 255.255.252.0 and even= the mask of the router should also have the same subnet mask. Now, you are not able to ping the interface from your host pc because you= are in a different network. Try changing the subnet mask of pcs and router ethernet int to 255.255.25= 2.0 your problem will be resolved. Pls let me know whether this worked or not Ganesh CCNA Hyderbad India "Hans Stout" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello colleagues, I have come across a problem on my LAN which I can't seem to figure out: I need more host addresses on my LAN, so I changed the subnet mask on my = Ethernet IP address to a 22-bit subnet mask (was 10.226.192.254/24, is no= w = 10.226.192.254/22). The problem I am having now is that I cannot ping the= = Ethernet interface anymore (even from the same router). Do I have to change the subnet mask for the default gateway on the hosts = attached to the LAN first before I can ping the interface ? It seems to m= e = that I should be able to ping my Ethernet interface, regardless of what I= P = address is configured, as long as the status is up/up. Thanks for your input in advance.
