Question...out of the blue.
If I set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.128 and the gateway to 10.0.1.1 (my normal net). Is it my understanding that half the addresses would stay on the LAN (lower half, I think) and 1/2 would seek the LAN port for resolution?
I do realize that there needs to be a gateway to generally get out, but even in the case above, should their be a routeron that 192.168.1..00 segment?
At some point, hopefully soon, I'll have other real options available to me. i.e static routes set within a router.
The one idea, seems simple; just combine a wireless port (10.0.1.3) and a wired port (call it 10.0.1..100) so that
a) 10.0.1.3 normally reaches the internet through 10.0.0.1 gateway.
b) Make the wired (10.0.1.100) device see the 10.0.1.x LAN or just (10.0.1.3)
c) Optionally make the 10.0.1.100) device see the Internet through 10.0.1,1
I didn't split up the LAN, but I used ranges of addresses. I think anything below 10.0.1.<1-100>) is DHCP with a long lease.
Printers start at at 230, Server a 222 (easy number)
I have a Silex USB server that doesn;t like linux
I have a Skype/pots handset that Micro$oft changed the API and the company no longer even supports iit. I really liked that product. The API change has really made a mess for people using Asterex PBS
I have two printers and I need to set up a 3rd. A HP2015dn is the B&W laser printer workhorse; an EPSON Artisan 850 did scanning and printing on CD's and paper. This could also FAX (not connected yet) Set up as wireless. The EPSON can;t scan right now, but I may be able to fix it. It can inkjet print. I have a color laser that I need to set up.
I'll have a couple of repeaters and a decent router in a mesh network at some pont. ASUS RT-ac68u.
I have a web mountan mini-automation server that's been in abox for while. Brought up a problem to the developer, but never put it backup. Long story/
I need to put up a 24 Port Dell Gigabit POE switch.
Another tough device is a ATSC modulator / IPTV server. I need to get the gigabit wired network up and running.
