117389 2003-01-31 01:39:00 If you have a domain controller running on windows 2000 advanced server and you want to have a LAN of more than 256 computers running on that domain, what do you do with the ip addresses,

i.e. ip addresses only go from xxx.xxx.xxx.0 - xxx.xxx.xxx.255

Im not actually setting up a domain of this size, I would just like to know.
Thanks

117390 2003-01-31 01:45:00 IP Addresses on a LAN are as follows:
192.168.XXX.XXX

Usually it'll start at:
192.168.0.1 and go to:
192.168.0.255

From there it would go to:
192.168.1.1 and then on to:
192.168.1.255

Going on from there you figure it like this:
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.255 would be the limit and you end up with several thousand, MORE than enough, probably even for the MS Network!

I think that's what you're after... :)

117391 2003-01-31 02:04:00 Just remember that you can't use the xxx.xxx.xxx.0 and xxx.xxx.xxx.255 because they are the subnet address and the broadcast address for the subnet. CYaBro (73)
117392 2003-01-31 04:34:00 It would be a mistake to use the 192.168.xxx.yyy class C addresses. Each different "xxx" is a different network. You would need routers to get beween them.

10.xxx.yyy.zzz would give enough addresses for most ( :D ) LANs, all in one network.
