How to setup a subnet

by blackcurrant . Updated 22 years, 2 months ago

Hi

We are looking to purchase more PC’s for our business network. When the extra PC’s have been installed we will have more than 30 PC’s on our network. One of my colleagues was saying he had read that if your network comprises more than 25-30 PC’s, it is a good idea to create a subnet to help alleviate network congestion.

I have seen several articles which explain how subnets work but I have not seen anything which describes how to setup a subnet.

Can anyone offer any friendly advice or point me to a practical resource?

My network currently comprises a single domain (run by a server with W2k Server/SBS2k)and a host of PC’s running WinXP, Win2kPro, Win98SE and one box running Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

Any constructive help will be appreciated.

Many thanks
