How does that work?
edit: router is 255.255.255.0 too
thats wierd, what brand is the router?
my cheap POS Belkin will only assign addresses in the range 192.168.2.xxx and if you set the router to anything other than 192.168.2.x the router and DHCP clients end up on separate subnets so they cant see each other.
Shouldve said, dhcp is off and this is all static. I got 2 subnets both sharing off the same router because theyre too cheap to pay for a 2nd broadband line - I just noticed by chance that it works fine with settings as per the above pic.
Its a zyxel router.
what happens if you plug the client straight into the router?
So can you access the router on 192.168.20.254?
Some cheap routers will accept other connections from other IP ranges along with the primary one.
I think a router can have another range than its clients.
is there a chance in win7 that allows it ?
I know my win7 machines can use a router in a different range... but the winXP machine i use for my projector wont ?
I have to ask the question what switch youre using.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh...
QuoteAny IP
The Any IP feature allows a computer to access the Internet or a device without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the device are not in the same subnet.
