I don't understand -- you said we enabled a subnet of 254 clients. &nbsp;Actually, we have extended the subnet to include 508 clients with the subnet starting at 255.255.254.000

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I just expanded my network DHCP scope to 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.1.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0. &nbsp;I have set most of my static IP devices to the new subnet mask (DHCP on the device is turned off), however, I have several Cisco/Linksys E2000 devices that will not allow me to manually set the subnet. &nbsp;Instead, it has a drop-down menu with the following selections:<br />
255.255.255.0<br />
255.255.255.128<br />
255.255.255.192<br />
255.255.255.224<br />
255.255.255.240<br />
255.255.255.248<br />
255.255.255.252<br />
<br />
I have it set at 255.255.255.0 with an IP address of 10.0.0.xx and the devices seem to be working fine. <br />
<br />
Is the inability to select the proper subnet a concern?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
