which type of cables are used to connect computers inside subnet
Alot of people just use cat 5.
The subnet depends on the IP addresses of the computers you are trying to connect. In most instances, a subnet of 255.255.255.0 is sufficient enough to get the job done. Subnets only really need to be configured if you are trying to connect multiple network IP distribtuions.
If the computer both have LAN cards installed, you can simply use a crossover Cat5e/Cat6 network cable. Then set the IP addresses on each computer to be on the same subnet, e.g 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Alternatively, you can set this up using a hub or switch and two straight through cables, wireless, along with other methods. This is not necessary if you only have two computers, but it may be more convenient.
Subnet mask defines our network bit . If we are using a single network then all computers should have same subnet mask as well as the ip address, that belongs to the same network id.
Yes, the cable has to be a "cross-over", the subnets need to match, and the IP's need to be within the same subnet.
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.
Firstly, is your server assigning IP Addresses, or do you already have a router or something. All you really need to hook a switch up to anything is a patch cable. If this is just a file server, acting as a client on a peer to peer network, you just need to make sure every computer on the network is getting an IP and are on the same subnet and workgroup.
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.
IP Address Additional info: The IP address for a client may not be on the correct subnet; it is possible that the subnet mask is incorrect.
A network, or a subnet.A network, or a subnet.A network, or a subnet.A network, or a subnet.
They must be in the same network and have the same subnet mask.
Make a cross cable,you can find the colour scheme on the internet very easily or you can buy ready made cable from computer shop just connect them.. give ip to ur PC 192.168.1.1 with subnet 255.255.255.0, and give ip to ur laptop 192.168.1.2,subnet mask 255.255.255.0 with default gateway 192.168.1.1 then ping 192.168.1.1 which is ur PC.. if it replies means they are both connected..
