For each subnet, there are 2 IPs that cannot be used 1) the first one (network address) 2) the last one (broadcast address) Everything in between can be used for interfaces and workstations.

subnets are essentially little networks split up by the subnet mask. to communicate between subnets a router is required. The course: The course isn't "free" per sey :) I access it from home and from work, my classmates access it from all over the country, so there's no way anyone's gonna...

With that subnet mask, every 510 machines will be in a different subnet (126 useable subnets in all). How are the computers interfaced to the network/internet?

this site is open to whoever has the login and password. its not designated to my school or anything, everyone has this thing. But if someone asks, don't say you got it from me :)

Precisely my point. Glad we get along :)

The reason that it actually works in a mini home network is because the IP isn't being routed, therefore the router isn't looking at the network portions (192.168.X) to make a decision. Routers cannot make a proper decision with 0's, because there are designated as a network address. Peace!

get a CISCO layer 2/3 switch, best combo available.

Your router doesn't have a true firewall (ACL's). It is referred to as a natural firewall because cannot see your internal IP addresses, they only see the 1 IP address assigned to your WAN interface. False advertisement really..

In an internal network, it REALLY doesn't make a huge difference, but you should follow the book as much as possible to prevent problems in the future.

Does that router support ACL's (Access Control Lists)?

You won't see any problems, but there could be an issue down the road. Each octet in use must have at least 1 bit used. Safest to always go with a number other than one, from my networking experience.

First off, is this a private network at home? If so, why are you using a Class B IP address? If it is a home network, use a class C IP address (192.168.1.0) and don't use 255.255.254.0 for your mask, use 255.255.255.0. How are your other machines hooked up, specifically? Acetate - CCNA.
