Links and Networking

I connect two computers one by one networking. Other three computers are other places (100 Feet)
I use two hubs. I use 192.168.0.1 …. 192.168.0.6 for all systems IP. The default gateway is 192.168.0.1. But the networking not connecting. How i connect all five systems. Please detail notes for me.

be sure all pc are in same workgroup(assuming that you are not in domain).now configure all pc with appropriate ip addresses.use cat 5e cable to connect.

   First, use switches instead of hubs. Hubs are just electrical repeaters, they do not "store and forward" packets, limiting speed and distance (100M total length – 50M each way only). With a switch, each wire is a dedicated link, and can go 100M on it’s own
   Second, don’t use an address ending in a "1", those are usually reserved for routers or gateways (usually the same box).

   With switches, you just run an ethernet cable between the two switches, and then you can plug any switch into a router later if you want to get internet.

   Basically, just plugging in all the computers into a hub or switch just puts them all on the same LAN.

   If you cannot run a cable between the two sites, you can set up a transparent wireless bridge (devices are not seen by the LAN users in general). You can leave the bridge routers in the same LAN if you wish, to make it easy to administer. I use these:

   and a pair of external wireless flat panel antennas.

   Hey try this…….

   computer1
   IP:192.168.0.2
   Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
   DG:192.168.0.1 //

   computer2
   IP:192.168.0.3
   Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
   DG:192.168.0.1 //

   computer3
   IP:192.168.0.4
   Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
   DG:192.168.0.1 //

   computer4
   IP:192.168.0.5
   Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
   DG:192.168.0.1 //

   computer5
   IP:192.168.0.6
   Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
   DG:192.168.0.1 //

   Make sure all the Default gateway(DG) should be the same on all the 5 computer’s which indicates that its in a same network.
