[Gllug] Best practice: Multiple sub-netting/NAT

[DL Neil]

Sorry Bruce, but we're not all Network Admins/experts - and hence need  
to ask questions to learn... Please feel free to correct my use of  
terminology.

The question was not about sub-net numbering, but since you ask  
192.168.0.0 and 192.168.1.0.

The first question was whether the two sub-nets could be combined into  
one. I didn't think so, but 'someone' said it could and don't know if  
he knows what he is talking about. Playing with it and reading up on  
the subject for a few hours this morning didn't get me anywhere. As  
you say, lacking the technical level of understanding I am asking for  
assistance from wiser minds or perhaps someone has faced this exact  
situation...

Thereafter I assume the sub-net MASK would have to change (from  
256.256.256.0) because addresses which are masked are on the LAN (and  
thus don't go out throught the router) whereas those which are not  
should be routed.

Is it a quiz Ant? No sorry. All you could win would be my gratitude.

Regards,
