You can use 10.0.0.1, 10.10.10.1, 10.30.20.1 or any other ip series you want. I just think that you have to use one of the subnet masks mentioned in my previous post that per subnet limits you to 254 or less hosts. Technically a Class A network would have a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.

This is interesting what you say about the Windows file sharing and what not. I always blew off any slowness/stalling when browsing the workgroup to just another crappy bonus of Microsoft Windows. Whenever I would observe this sort of behavior it would happen on one or two workstations but not

resending another email that bounced.. did hardwaregroup.com go down yesterday? I'm not certain because I've never tested it, but I think on the LAN side you must use a subnet that would be confined to a single Class C network when using a consumer router. Using 255.255.0.0 as a

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

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

OK, I now use what I read is the Class C private IP address series. I use 192.168.2xx.x. I am told that my sub-net mask should be 255.255.255.0. If this is true, then should not my chosen 3rd quartile of 2xx really be a value 0? Or, does it really mean that my chosen 3rd quartile is somehow

There is something like 64 thousand ip addresses in the private 192.168.x.x range. (192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255) The subnet mask will determine the range of IP addresses that will be in your local network. Your local network being the computers/devices you have direct access to send data

Tharin, I am trying to configure both a router and my personal network of 6 (7) devices. 7 if I count the router; which I do. Does that combination have a bearing on this? After 7 years, I was trying to stretch/play a little bit because this is my 2d go-around with high-speed. Perhaps I
