networking question

[drew]

can 255.255.255.0 be used with subnet mask 255.255.0.0

can 255.255.255.0 be used with subnet mask 255.255.0.0

I need more detail? Are you saying that your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and you want to use a 255.255.0.0 address?

Give me some more info and I may be able to help.

[drew]

correct, will that work?

[jbdakid]

ok, nah you can't do that.

[drew]

okay didn't think so but couldn't remember, which is really a shame since all I do for work is wireless networking and laser barcoding

[jbdakid]

yeah, your address choices will be between 1-254. You will probably be using what's called a classless address which looks like 192.168.x.x or a 10.x.x.x where the x's match the 0's in your subnet mask (if that makes sense).

[cburwell]

10.XXX.XXX.XXX, 172.16.XXX.XXX, and 192.168.XXX.XXX are still classes of addresses (A, B, C), they are just considered unroutable or private addresses. That refers to the fact that they cannot be directly routed across the internet without using some other technology.

where the x's match the 0's in your subnet mask


The "zeroed out" bits (when the subnet mask is converted to Binary form). I'm just being a PITA, because when I first learned IP addressing, it took me a while tofigure out that my professor was not talking about the zeros in the base 10 subnet mask.

Please, don't get my started on stupid binary and figuring out your own IP address using binary and blah blah lol. I couldn't stand that part of the course when I took my CCNA class. I'm like "Ok seriously, no tech is going to sit there and figure out his own network ip address and subnets he can use, by calculating binary. That's what calculators are for lol"

Grrrr.

[drew]

jesus ****. we're doing binary/decimal/hex conversions right now in my MCP ****. I don't really understand the need to memorize things like what each letter is, represented in binary.


the only joy it brings me is being able to put out something like this

01000110 01010101 01000011 01001011
01000010 01001001 01001110 01000001 01010010 01011001

and know someone out there feels my pain.

Dude thats what we are doing in class right now lol

[drew]

what school?

Now that's not very nice haha.

just set your ip to something like 192.168.1.XX (xx=any number from 2-99).
then a subnet of 255.255.255.0
and gateway 192.168.1.1

01000010 01001001 01001110 01000001 01010010 01011001

[drew]

^ not binary - decimal, binary - ascii

[J.Ralli]

^ not binary - decimal, binary - ascii

ahhh i see

[05GT]

Jay you n00b!!! lol.

01000110 01010101 01000011 01001011
01000010 01001001 01001110 01000001 01010010 01011001 = F**k binary lol.

[J.Ralli]

Jay you n00b!!! lol.

01000110 01010101 01000011 01001011
01000010 01001001 01001110 01000001 01010010 01011001 = F**k binary lol.

lol what else did u expect hahahaha
