When assigning IP Addresses to the computers on the network, please remember
that the
IP Address for each computer must be in the same IP Address range
as all the computers in the network
, and the subnet mask must be exactly the
same for all the computers in the network.
For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.2 with a
Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP
Address of 192.168.0.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.
IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP Address,
one or more of the devices may not be visible on the network.
