Answer to Question #60591 in Computer Networks for J.S.

Question #60591
Comp 1:
IP Address: 192.168.0.20
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS 192.168.0.1

Comp 2:
IP Address: 192.168.1.21,
Mask: 255.255.255.0,
Gateway:192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.0.1

Do you think that "these computers can communicate aka nothing wrong with the configuration" or can't they?

I'm conflicted on my answer as they have the same mask and both start with 192.168. but without the mask they could not? Also not sure what is DNS about..so I am conflicted on answer a or answer b.

A. The computers can't communicate w. each other

B. There is not anything wrong with this configuration

So can I believe its option2 based on that? yes or not?

can you explain why this is? I have another repsonse somewhere else saying "They can communicate because their default gateways are on their respective LANs, IE 192.168.0.21 machine has its gateway as as 192.168.0.1 and both are on the 192.168.0.x network"
