Hello to all: A long time ago when I first struggled and figured out how to set up a LAN network, I got some advice about how I should alloc the numbers. 1) start static address at *.*.*.10, 2) put WAPs at *.*.*.245, and 3) for a gateway of 192.168.1.1, assign your router that connects to the 3rd party (Verizon) to be 192.168.2.2. I have never really found documentation to support such, but my network behaves nicely so I don't argue. I am helping my niece set up her network for her apartment / roommates and find that I don't want to give her the advice I was given as I can't prove its worth. Plus, she and the roommates are all living on wireless DCHP and I never dealt with that (translation is the one laptop I do have I just let it do its thing and turn a blind eye). They are all Windows-centric so I am trying to find best practice regardless of opSys. Can anyone point me to a website that gives good advice on how one should alloc one's local ip addresses? I googled and seem to only turn up differences in A, B, C networks or router to outside link info. Maybe there isn't any advice on such, in which case I want to know so I can tell her to "do her thing".
