Hi Everyone:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I am curious about the meaning or significance of the subnet mask number of 255.255.255.0. &nbsp;This number seems to always be static in both home wired and home wireless network connections. &nbsp;What does each set of numbers represent? &nbsp;Does each set of numbers represent a network with the actual number of 255 being the maximum number of computers which can occupy that network? &nbsp;Much like a network within a network or subnet?<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Any shared thoughts to this question will be appreciated.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Thank you<br />

What is the significance of the Sub-net Mask Number of 255.255.255.0 for Network Connection?

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
