Ha! Brilliant! Never thought about that... . Thanks for the hint - I was so oriented towards 255.255.255.0 ... I'll work through the article and consider that solution... Thank You. många hälsningar Ralf Am 12.09.13 11:47, schrieb Daniel Jokinen: > Hi, it sound to me like you need to expand your subnet. Easiest way to explain is that if you change the subnet mask on the network to 255.255.0.0, you would get around 65500 available IP addresses on the network. Make sure you understand what it's all about before you do anything though. Here is a wikipedia article about subnetting that explains this concept very good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork > > Good luck! > > /Daniel Jokinen > > > > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > Från: Ralf Petry [mailto:[email protected]] > Skickat: den 12 september 2013 11:40 > Till: m0n0wall Mailingliste > Ämne: [m0n0wall] Increase number of available ip-addresses > > Hy, (note in advance: my English might be a bit, well, rusty...) I'm using m0n0wall mainly with the Voucher function. I understand, that the number of available ip-addresses given by the DHCP-Server is limited. Nevertheless, I have been asked, if there was the possibility to include more than 250 ip-requests. (Don't ask me about the sense...) The only way I could imagine, is, with allowing my WLAN-Access Points to set up their own subnets and route to the m0n0wall instead of passing through the adress-requests from the clients. > > Would there be another possibility (e.g. with more subnets dealt by the DHCP-service of m0n0wall itself)? > > Best regards, Ralf. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] >
