Set up a series of scope ranges in DHCP, or if you have a class A or class B address use a range that would give you that many addresses total.
Then make sure that all the clients use DHCP for their addressing.

254 - a class C subnet uses 8 bits for the hosts and 0 and 255 are reserved.
DHCP (Dynamic host connectivity protocol)
Its very simple one when the host connects to the network it is DHCP dynamic host control protocol which is used to assign the IP address to the address seeking hosts in the network. it simply take any IP address from the pool of IP address and assign on to the host on lease based after using this must be sent back to the DHCP server ( your router in most cases )
DHCP stands for dynamic host configuration protocol. It is oftenly used to dynamically assign ip addresses to the hosts connected within a lan.Dhcp works by taking a pool of IPs that is specified by an administrator and assigns each ip to a host that is up.whenever the host gets down the dhcp takes back the ip assigned and stores it back in that pool. EX: if there are 100 PCs and we need to give ip addresses to all of them then, instead of manually assigning static ip addresses to all the PCs, we can use the DHCP to assign dynamic ips to hosts.The hosts connected will only need to obtain the ip by going to Network Places-->Properties-->Lan-->Properties-->TCP/IP-->Properties-->obtain ip dynamically-->OK-->Apply.

Where is the HOSTS file located : Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hostsWindows NT/2000/XP Proc:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hostsWindows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts(you may need administrator access for Windows NT/2000/XP)What is the Host File?It's a list of computers/hosts and there IP address. You put in it hosts that you regularly visit to speed up access to those hosts by avoiding having to look up the IP address from the host name.
The same as a public IP. Your choices are: (1) assign an address manually, and (2) configure the computer to get an IP address automatically from a DHCP server.The same as a public IP.

That is mainly used for larger networks. For a home network, just assign the IP address manually.Auto-obtaining an IP address requires configuring a DHCP server - the machine that will assign those addresses, out of a specified address pool.That is mainly used for larger networks.

class A ip has 16777216 host but valid hosts are only 16777214.(2^24-2)So answer is 16777214 hosts
