Re: Control System Network Settings Conundrum
You are not the first one to notice this difference. Although it is not a traditional configuration, 255.0.0.0 will work. Using this subnet mask will also allow the plethora of team numbers used in competition to work without problems.
Now, technically speaking, 10.x.x.x is a Class A address and the classic subnet mask for a Class A address scheme is 255.0.0.0.
A classic subnet mask for a Class C network is 255.255.255.0. When working at your home facility, triple 255.0 is perfectly fine. While at any competition you will want to use the 255.0.0.0.
So, just to make it simpler and easier to not forget to change the subnet mask, use the 255.0.0.0 all the time and you should have few if any problems.
BTW, the classmate PC only can use 803.11g. So, if you are using it in a wireless configuration, make sure you account for that in your configurations.
