Subnet mask

[paul00]

hello

I have problem with my routers
because when i make
in two computers different subnet masks
it cant ping but when i make it same
its all works

PCs will only talk to each other if they are on the same subnet. If they are on different subnts and there is a router involved there will need to be a route through the router for the router to route the packets.

Hope this makes sense, Steve

u need to have a gateway for the different netmasks.. it's called subnetting..

for instance:

192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0

or

192.168.0.1 255.255.255.224
192.168.0.2 255.255.255.224

u must have a corresponding IP and netmask on your router.. to support your the networks u subnet..

good luck...
