What is the IP subnet that DHCP hands out?  Is it on a different subnet from

My understanding of networks is next to nothing; by subnet do you mean
the netmask field as reported by ifconfig?  If so I have quoted that
below:

eth2: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
   inet 192.168.0.114  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.0.255

Well, the netmask is part of the subnet equation. Maybe I should have queried you on your level of network knowledge. My apologies for over-talking it.

The subnet for the other devices IPs, is it different from 192.168.0.X your laptop is getting? Such as 172.16.0.x Or even 192.168.1.X (X being the part of the IP that identifies a specific device.

Does that help clarify?
