There are a coulple of IP Network Classes, which define the range of the first number in the address and the value used as the Netmask.When I connect to a server added to my favorites it gives me this error
"lan servers restricted to lan server(class c)"...
Historical classful network architecture
Class Leading bits Range of first octet Network portion Host portion Number of networks Number of addresses per network
A 0 0 - 127 a b.c.d 2^7 = 128 2^24 = 16777216
B 10 128–191 a.b c.d 2^14 = 16384 2^16 = 65536
C 110 192–223 a.b.c d 2^21 = 2097152 2^8 = 256

Hmm; btw- Broadband includes DLS, Cable and Satellite connections to an ISP.Well i do not use DSL internet but moreover a broadband connection based on sharing.
ISP- - modem---router---multiple.systems
router---some.systemA - - - server
huh? What's that?a problem in cs folder
come on! Routing table is a messnot in the internet connection.
I guess all the above was of no interest or help - - too bad"Lan servers are restricted to local clients (class c)", this is the problem that has worried me
