I need to break a Class C network into subnets, using each subnet in a locations which are connected basically as follows: +----+ +------+ +------+ +----+ | W1 |----| S1 |-------------------------| S2 |---| W2 | +----+ +------+ +------+ +----+ | | | | | | +------------+ +-----------------------------+ +-----------+ Network 1, Network 2 Network 1, Subnet A Subnet B 111.111.111.2 111.111.111.254 W1 and W2 are PC's with an IP address in different subnets of Class C network 1. S1 and S2 are Netware servers which are connected to a backbone with addresses in Class C Network 2. (The actual IP addresses are made up; I know that .2 and .254 are not valid the way subnetting works.) My question is whether another server on the backbone (call it S3) will be able to figure out that to get to 111.111.111.2 you need to go through server S1, but that 111.111.111.254 is accessible only through server S2. I would try this, but the servers in question are inconveniently far apart, and this looks like a pretty simple "yes-or-no" proposition. Thanks for any responses (that pertain to my question, that is!) -- *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* * Mark C.

The simple answer is "no". To make it work you would need to either
1) use two unique class C IP network numbers on the two stub networks
or 2) use a third subnet of the non-contiguous class C network (the one
used for the stubs) on the backbone network.
