<p dir="ltr">Your router can still hang out at 192.168.1.1 just with subnet mask 255.255.0.0</p>

<p dir="ltr">On Linux to do this manually do this as root<br>
ip addr add <a href="http://192.168.123.123/16">192.168.123.123/16</a> dev eth0<br>

Ok on the routers/bridges.<br>
<br>
So what do I set each PC to? route add <a href="http://192.168.0.0/16" target="_blank">192.168.0.0/16</a>? Specify a
gateway, too?<br>

<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>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> 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>

<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>

<sigh><br>

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>
