With the quantity of advanced networking users on this list I thought I may
be able to get some help.

On my lan at home I use 192.168.1.x My friend's lan is on 192.168.0.x I am
quite frequently around at his place with my pc for lan gaming sessions,
etc. In my config I have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (pretty standard I
think) but ISTR a discussion once (not in this forum) that said that a
simple alteration of this subnet mask would allow me to connect to my
friend's lan without needing to change my fixed IP address.

Can anyone help?

Thanx
PapaBear.
