RE: Home LAN - IP Ranges

["Dean Smith" <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

LOL.

My home network uses 172.27.1.0 /24. - purely because that used to fit in
with the company I worked for 6 years ago when I first started IP
networking.

So far (and a couple of companies later) I.ve never had to change - NAT has
always overcome any issues. Not sure I could retrain my fingers to type
another subnet now ;-)

Subject: [ukha_d] Home LAN - IP Ranges


My home LAN is currently on the range 192.168.0.x (as I=92m using Windows
ICS), but this has meant I=92m unable to VPN to work as it uses the same
range.  With ADSL arriving in a few weeks time I=92ll be taking the
opportunity to change my home LANs IP range to overcome this.

I=92ve no understanding of Subnets, but from what I read a =93class C=94 =
IP
range
allows 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks. Ample :)

So, I was planning to use 192.168.1.x at home, until James H mentioned it
might be a good idea to pick something more like 192.168.123.x or whateve=
r
so I don't clash with other LANs I might want to VPN to in the future.

Anyone got any comments before I start changing IP addresses on TiVos,
Xboxes, switches etc?

Thanks
