I have been assigned a subnet mask by my ISP of 255.255.255.248. If
I'm understanding subnetting, which I'm new to, this means I have a
network address of xxx.xxx.xxx.8, a gateway of xxx.xxx.xxx.9 and a
broadcast of xxx.xxx.xxx.15. That leaves 5 addresses I can use for
hosts, e.g. xxx.xxx.xxx.10 - xxx.xxx.xxx.14. Now I want to assign 3 of
the public addresses to hosts, and one public address to a wireless
DLINK router which supports NAT, etc. for a LAN. Question: can I
assign xxx.xxx.xxx.9 as a gateway to each host, wheter router or NIC?
Can I do this? Pretty confused, and trying to learn.
