OK aniket i'll try it. what u said. so u r saying that i can connect to ppl who r in 10.250.145.x range when i m on 10.250.130.x range. is that correct or i got it wrong. and if i can than thanks alot for this information. what i tried earlier was to add some more default gateways and also add some more IP's but then my Broadband was getting disconnected after some time. anyways i'll try this and see if that works or not. so according to u i should leave subnet mast to 255.0.0.0 that's it and i should be able to connect to all the IP ranges which starts with 10.250.x.x. if i missed something then just explain it again. thanks alot again. and one more thing is there any way to get routed the LAN through default gateways. like to connect LANs of two different CTO's though all LAN's of Sify are connected with each other. Using DC++. ????
