sleepyleon Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 currently have a linksys router hooked up to both a wireless linksys router and a netgear hub...all of thats working fine; however, was wondering if i could set it up so that one group of computers could only access/share files within that group and have another group that would only have access to other computers of that group? i read a little about subnet masks and wondered if i could give that a try?...possible problem with that is that not all the computers i want to include within a group are hooked up to the same router? i'm really not sure how it would work. every computer at the moment is using the 255.255.255.0 default mask.thanks in advance!
