<p dir="ltr">Sure, if you altered the subnet mask on your router to 255.255.0.0 (a /16) that would work. Your random devices will still default to 192.168.whatever.0/24, but once you alter their subnet mask as well (or use DHCP) then everything should Just Work for you. </p>

Appreciate the help, Hunter. Is it not easy to have everything in
the 192.168.x.x address range? (Mask 255.255.0.0?) I can't
remember any of this but bits and pieces...<br>
<br>
My router and firewall to the outside world are set not to pass
192.168.x.x out to the world (as such) but I'm using all bridges
internally (but there may still be one brouter in the mix; not
sure.)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<p dir="ltr">The long and the short of it is subnet masking.
Basically, in home networking, your subnet mask is almost always
255.255.255.0 also known as a /24 (slash 24). What this means is
that the first three octets of the IPs of two devices have to be
the same before they can talk.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Routers are capable of breaking this boundary, but of
course your router can only know about <a href="http://192.168.1.0/24" target="_blank">192.168.1.0/24</a>
so that won't help you. </p>
<p dir="ltr">If the raspberry pi is handing out addresses in a
different range then you need to put your laptop in that range
temporarily, log into the pi, and reconfigure it to not do that.
Unless you intend for it to create its own separate network that
is. </p>

I need to be able to access subnets at home; everything is
behind a firewall to the Internet.<br>
<br>
My PC's are all dhcp in the 192.168.1.x address space.<br>
<br>
I'd like to be able to talk to other addresses from these
PC's.<br>
<br>
Specifically:<br>
192.168.7.2 -- Beaglebone Black default IP Address works just
fine.<br>
<br>
but<br>
<br>
192.168.10.1 -- particular RPi 2 address from downloaded image
does not. Of course, that Pi is a wireless one, while if I
turn off the wireless and connect a house cable, it gets
assigned 192.168.1.56 (for example) and that works fine. BUT,
the wifi address is still not accessible unless I make the
wifi laptop get on the RPi 2 as it's dhcp server and then the
laptop gets assigned 192.168.10.x. <sigh> (Same for the
Android tablet.) How do I get everything to play nice with
each other?<br>
<br>
Bought a NAS server and set it's address to 192.168.200.1 --
and *nothing* in the house could see it until I changed it's
address to a 192.168.1.x.<br>
<br>
Help, please.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
