Hey all,

I think i got the right forum as its not really security related

Situation; Windows 2003 SBS Domain environment w/ x number of clients.

AFIK the most commonly used IP configuration is 192.168.0.0 or 1.0 / 255.255.255.0
Can someone give the quick rundown as to why this is or the reason for its high useage.

My question is; Is it possible to cause problems with the network by having an unusual subnet config. Take these for example;

10.10.0.0 / 255.0.0.0 <--- Fairly normal IMO

what if

10.10.0.0 / 255.255.255.0 <--- what would this change impact and are there other odd configurations that could do the same.

Any good links would be great including "Daryl's TCP/IP Primer" wherever that may be found

Thanks peeps

CTO
