hello everyone 🙂
i am in need of some help and here is obviously the best place to ask 🙂
i am wondering if i can get a ip such as..
???.???.8.0
???.???.16.0
???.???.24.0
etc....
the 3rd number has to be dividable by 8 and the last number be as low as possible for example .0
if this is possible, please help 🙂
thanks for reading 🙂
Hi Andrew,
If you're in control of assigning the IPs via your own network then the answer is "you should be able to".
You could do something like this:
Computer 1: 192.168.8.0
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
Computer 2: 192.168.16.0
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
Computer 3: 192.168.24.0
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
Assigning each computer the 255.255.0.0 subnet will allow them to all see each other. If you wanted to change the 168 on each computer to a different number, then the subnet would need to be 255.0.0.0. Simply put, if there's a 255 in that particular octet then it only sees computers with matching numbers in that octet.
Out of curiousity, why the divisible by 8, etc?
