Netmasks determine what bits of the 32-bit address is network id vs. machine id. Whatever you choose for the 1st 3 octets with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 IS important only in that all machines must use the same 1st 3 octets. 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254. If you switch to a 255.255.0.0 netmask,

Thank you j maccraw, That became the proof at about 0130 this morning. LOL! I now have a cheat sheet that says exactly what you shared. I'll update it with the correct word octet. All is back up and running much quicker with proper addy's and netmasks. Would I be correct that when using the

One issue I had, and it might have been some thing I messed up. I installed my WiFi printer (HP All in One) with a wireless Netgear router, using my laptop as the install vehicle. The problem was if the laptop was not on the other computers on the network could not communicate with the printer.

Simple answer is that a Private Class C network with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask is fine for you. This would create a local network allowing up to 254 hosts (machines, computers, whatever). If my math is right, 254 is way bigger than than 7 :) When using this subnet you must make sure the

I don't think the printer came with one. But I had the cables so it was not a problem. I wonder now in hindsight, if I used one of the desktop units as the install vehicle I might not have had that problem. Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:58:34 -0700 To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com From: [EMAIL

Duncan, That makes sense. I kinda had the same line of thought, though I could not put it that plainly. After a while, even with the laptop on sometimes the printer would not come back online. When that happens, only a complete re-install brings the printer back online. HP realizes some of the
