Networking?

You are trying to connect to following hosts to a network using a hub. Will the two hosts be able to communicate to each other?





Host A


IP address: 192.168.1.1


Subnet:255.255.255.0





Host B


IP address : 192.168.2.3


Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Networking?
no, according to the subnet masks (255.255.255.0) they are on two different networks. Host A is apparently on network segment 192.168.1 and Host B is on 192.168.2.





The first three octets would need to be identical in order for the hosts to communicate with each other





p.s. I really hope this isn't some kind of homework question you're trying to get the answers for.

Reply:No.. you are on different networks.





Subnet 255.255.255.0 means that the first three sets of numbers are the network that you are using. The fourth number is the hosts ID on that network. So network 192.168.1 is different than 192.168.2. You would neet a router or bridge to create a "Bridge" between the two networks.
Reply:As is - no





If you chage your subnet to 255.255.0.0 on both hosts - yes.





If you want a more technical explanation of why - ask!
Reply:Is a router attached to this hub? If so, they could communicate.
