which ip address is most suitable for LAN using Windows XP for 10 systems?

Answer 1

Is this a trick question?
O.K. the simple answer is..
192.168.0.xxx (xxx starting at 101 ending at 110)
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
and no default gateway.
More complicated...
Will you have access to a Wide Area Network (like the internet)?
If yes, then the answer gets a little more complicated.
For instance...
What will you be using as a router?
What will you use for e-mail?
Will you be using D.H.C.P. or will your I.P. adresses be all static?
What about access to any web sites on your L.A.N.?

Answer 2

Any private (non-routable) range of IP addresses is fine for private LANs. The most common is the 192.168.1.x range, simply because lots of routers are shipped with that configuration.

Answer 3

the normal use for internal addressing is 192.168.15.1 your router would take that in which case if you dont have i would use 192.168.15.1 to192.168.15.11 ,the easiest thing to do is to go to the store get a router and som switches and use DHCP. which will automatically assign ip addresses to each machine.
