I could be wrong, but as they're not changing the default mask, it's not a multiple network issue. It's likely used to hamper cross-network transactions - an ugly way to stop people (read 'visitors') seeing each other's shares/files, etc., and make the network less open. As far as I know, even if you have a local switch/hub, you'll still see communication problems between machines so long as they use the gateway provided by DHCP. In one or two situations like that, for temporary network installations (with shared printers, internet access, and file sharing/streaming), a cheap router can be very handy. Stick it between you and the network and use it as the DHCP server. Voila! Not necessarily always a good solution, and a bit naughty in rented office space with horrendously expensive internet connections (around London, I've seen people paying a ton [i]per machine[/i] in pokey little offices) as it's technically theft regardless of their extortion. If that's not it, I'm going to lay awake for days trying to figure it out... :confused: [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/4663]White Hawk[/url] on 07-23-2009 00:11)[/small] Loading...
