Hi shrek2,<br />
<br />
Simple answer is &quot;yes&quot;.<br />
<br />
Using those figures would give you a range of 192.168.40.0 - 192.168.47.255<br />
<br />
Your existing 192.168.42.0/24 range would be included within this.<br />

Hi shrek2,

Simple answer is "yes".

Using those figures would give you a range of 192.168.40.0 - 192.168.47.255

Your existing 192.168.42.0/24 range would be included within this.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I am about to extend my &quot;Flat&quot; network which is quickly reaching its 254 Max of private IP's. &nbsp; &nbsp;My DHCP is about tapped out. <br />
&nbsp;<br />
I just wanted to know if i can simply change the network mask on all of my devices to include a larger range- for instance can i change my present 192.168.42.0 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 &nbsp;to a &nbsp;of Netmask 255.255.248.0 <br />
will this philosophy allow me to use the greater range of addresses available to that mask of addresses? &nbsp; <br />
<br />
Thanks
