Re: running out of IP addresses
Changing the subnet mask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0 gives you 65280 more IP's to use on your network (65536 in total including your current 256).
255.255.0.0 (or /16) lets you use 192.168.0.0 through to 192.168.255.255 on a single network.
BUT, the next questions is, if you are getting this big, why not seperate the network into logical groups of computers, i.e. have all of the admin/accounts computers on one subnet/vlan, all of the support computers on another, etc etc.
You do then need a router so that each subnet can access the others.
It is definately worth looking at and I would highly recommend it!  |
