difference between 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x

is there really any difference? both support up to 254 computers correct?

as far as I know - the only difference is that some manufacturers use one, and some use the other. I believe each supports 255 computers, unless I'm being stupid and forgetting something.

Each octet is represented by a decimal number between 0 and 255. 0 and 255 in the last octet are not used for individual computers. So 256 possible numbers in the last octet, 254 of which are typically available to hosts.

There are exceptions, especially with subnetting, but for a /24, this should be right.

Anyhow, there are no real differences between the two.

Just what monkey said with the condition that you're using the same netmask. 255.255.255.0 is going to be the easiest to use without actually understanding what subnetting "is".

(Granted, monkey basically said this as well, but generally people don't understand /24 notation.)

Cheers!

well, there is some kind of difference for windows at least. lemme explain:

I have a very intricate network setup, I have a lan, and thus workgroup, and both my laptop and desktop are connected with two conections, both wired and wireless, (wired is crossover) but if the wired network connection IP's are in the 192.168.1.x range the net doesn mix for one or another reason, by chance i'll see either every computer, except for the laptop, or just the laptop, however if the wired IP's are set to 192.168.0.x then the networks mix so I can see both on the workgroup.

I know it's odd and shouldnt work like that, but I'm just stating my experiences here.

There is essentially no difference. If I understood your post better I'd try to explain, but I'm REALLY tired. Reading comprehension is gone for the night.

I know there shouldnt be a difference, I'm just saying that for the way my lan is setup tehre is a difference if I stay in the same IP range or not.

strangeness is the spice of life

But the two subnets are not different. Your setup is different than the few stipulations I outlined. I think.

I'd say there's a problem with your wifi setup if anything.(and as n0c said, assuming I'm reading your post right)
The whole 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255 is used for internal addresses, as specified by RFC1918, there's nothing special about 192.168.0.0/24.
My home net uses 192.168.201.0/24 for example, mostly cause I figured most people use 192.168.0 or 192.168.1, and thus, the chances of me running into conflicts when I setup VPN's will be reduced
