Forum Overview :: American McGee's Honda Civic :: Re: Here's the problem, anyone heard of this?

[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Jhoh Clbbl O_____O"]My boss and I are using the same service provider (WOW) and both of our IP addresses start with the same 2 groups. What I was told (not from WOW of course) was that there is some kind of problem in network systems that is possible where two computers like this would not be able to communicate with each other. The guy I talked to said that he saw this problem before with networking. Apparently it's not <b>supposed</b> to happen but it can if the network system is not done right. I called WOW and tried to get an answer on this, and all I got was some shit about how you have to open the port did you open the port and talk to your IT manager servicer fuckin whateverer. So, I think I'm going to switch to Comcast, like today.[/quote] Did he mention anything about subnet masks? I can't imagine what he could be talking about unless it's something along those lines. But yeah, just switch to a service provider that works.[/quote]
