Another thing to mention about the 192.168.x.x IP addresses is that they are classed as private (non-routable on the Internet). Thus you can use them at home for internal netorks.
Depending on the size of your internal network, you can use any of address ranges below. Class A private: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 Class B private: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 Class C private: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 > On Sat, 2002-11-09 at 05:24, Bart Salien wrote: > > <snip> > <snip> > > >> I agree with John s explanation , however 192.x.x.x to my knowledge is >> a class C network with a default mask of 24 = 255.255.255.0 >> class B ranges from 128.x.x.x/16 till 191.x.x.x/16 >> class C ranges from 192.x.x.x/24 till 223.x.x.x/24 >> >> For most home networks the default mask will be OK , and there is no >> need for further subnetting , it will only make it more complicated . >> >> Greetings , >> >> Bart. > > Thanks for your response!
