No. Different operating systems provide different features, but as long as the OS has compatible protocols, communication is possible.
uh huh
For a start, two computers on the same network should have the same subnet mask. If two computers that are indeed on the same network have different subnet masks, there is a design problem. Now, even if you look only at the last subnet mask - the least restrictive one - the computers are NOT on the same subnet mask. The subnet mask 255.255.0.0 indicates that the first two bytes (or the first 16 bits) of an IP address have to match, to be considered part of the same network. If you look at the IP addresses, this is not the case.

Depends on what you mean by "close geographical range." This can mean anywhere from two computers within a house, two computers in a town or even two computers in the same country compared to two computers that are connected between continents. For a house that would be: *LAN (Local Area Network) *VPN (Virtual Private Network) *PAN (Private Area Network); This would include bluetooth For a town that could be: *LAN *WAN (Wide Area Network) Hope this helped.
You have a network of computers!
Connect the computers using a Cat 5(e) network cable. Set both computers to the same subnet (ex: laptop1 ip: 192.168.0.1 laptop 2 ip: 192.168.0.2) and the same workgroup.
It is not possible, because there will an error that is call ip conflict error.
You will need a router, wireless adapter, to have a network connecting computers
We can have same ip address on two or more computers in the SAME network; both working simultaneously. They should be in same collission domain. Let their MAC address be same first & then assign them same ip address. You can do so by using a network hub. Watch my associated video on www.metacafe.com/channels/austinium2002/
A network is a connection of two or more computers in a communication array. You can't really have a network with only one computer.
You can connect two or more computers using the following cables: Network cable USB cable Serial (used in old computers) Parallel (used in old computers)
Two or more computers connected together create a computer network. Computers within a network can interchange data.
