Sometimes a device on something like 192.168.1.1 *can* talk to something on 192.168.8.1 directly, sometimes traffic will be blocked. If the netmasking is 255.255.0.0 on both sides, I'd expect it to work. If either side has 255.255.255.0 it may not. Some devices are strict about rules, some try to be helpful. I remember a friend's modem/router being the very opposite of a firewall, it automatically tried to route any and all traffic through it. I've had this palaver before when I've had to connect hardware devices to a network. We had some devices that just had to be on 192.168.1, because the manufacturer was pig-headed. It forced a renumbering of the entire LAN. Then I changed modem/routers and it came preconfigured for 192.168.0, fortunately it could be changed. I'm glad I didn't have other hardware devices that could only work on 192.168.0 at the same time. I am seeing a similar thing now, here. I'm using a mobile phone to access the internet for my LAN, it insists on a 192.168.42 network (and I wouldn't be surprised if it only allows throughput from devices it's assigned IPs to, itself - interlinking DHCP with access control). It's certainly a pain in only allowing 10 devices to go through it. To use that addressing would mean renumbering my whole LAN, and then making my LAN unusable when the phone is disconnected. Or putting a PC in the middle to manage things. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
