What does the subnet mask of an IP address do?

Subnet Mask provides Network & Class Identificationfor an IP Address.


What is the subnet mask for ip address 5.5.65.12?

Smaller than 65.56.0.0/14. With just the IP, there is no way to know the netmask. We can see that Level 3 owns that address and their block is a /14. It could be a /30 with a gateway of 65.56.25.18. it could be a /29 with a gateway of 65.56.25.18-22. In short, there is no way to definitively know the netmask from the IP only.

Find out another pc's subnet mask?

If the other PC is on the same LAN segment then it will have the same subnet mask as yours. A subnet mask is the same for all subnets within a network so that will be the same as well. For other networks it isn't important to know what their subnet is. You could always ask the other user to find out that information if you needed to know.
