Wow! Good info there! Ok let me ask another question for clarification... is it possible to chain networks of the same class... for example to put another class C network (192.168.x.x) behind a class C network? Thanks!
gdvissch, hats off for an excellent response!
Really I am not concerned with whether the number of extra computers possible is actually INFINITE...
Rather, I just wanted to establish whether it is possible to significantly exceed the ~18 million extra assignable ip addresses behind a single...
I agree with the router overload issue, but all I really needed to know is if the same ip address can exist on more than one computer on separate subnets behind a cable modem, and both be able to access the internet. So the answer is no?
are you sure about that? The netmask would be 255.0.0.0 and I believe the first octet of all ip's assigned would be 10 (10.x.x.x). And if another router is connected then all of those ip's assigned would also start with 10, right?
My friend & I disagree and a simple answer to the following will settle it:
Can an INFINITE number of additional computers be gain access to the internet by chaining routers behind a cable modem (given that the computers on different subnets don't need to see each other)?
For example if you...
