Everyone seems to take the 192.168.*.* and default to 192.168.1.* or 192.168.100.* as well. When setting up networks, i try to give the clients an unique subnet because I've ran into multiple situations where two different networks were trying to setup VPN access to each other, but they were both on the same subnet (192.168.1.*). That causes a lot of problems because the VPN doesnt know which network to send the packets to. So, I now use a unique number in the third octect to prevent that from happening (192.168.176.*) fyi... =] Mike -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Costanzo, Ray Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 6:17 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: 192.168.*.* - why?
