Re: Network visibility question

You can tell Advanced IP Scanner which addresses to check... there's a blank at the top of the window (below the "scan" button, to the left of the "search" box) and you can just type 192.168.190.1 - 254

That tells it to scan IP addresses in the range of 192.168.190.1 - 192.168.190.254

I wouldn't change your netmask -- that changes the way packets are routed from your PC. If you did that, most likely you would no longer be able to reach 192.168.x.x computers unless they were on your LAN.

Don't laugh at the ignorance on display with these questions. :)

My Windows 10 PC has an IP address of 192.168.0.x and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0.

Does this mean I cannot "see" devices on the network with IP addresses in
the 192.168.190.x range with Advanced IP Scanner?

If I change the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 would I then "see" these
devices? A reboot required?

What is the danger of doing so?

Thanks.
