Networking → networking

hello everybody
i am just new in window server 2008 R2 and i am going to configure my DHCP server
my IP adress is 192.168.1.3
any body tell me what is my starting and ending adress
thanks

How many ip endpoints are you going to have because that will determine your subnet.

You should read up on basic networking and TCP/IP fundamentals…

The OP should also take the time to ask himself if he really needs Windows 2008 server or not. Personally, I find Windows 2008 server to be a waste in a home environment unless you are running a small business or something out of your home.

You are right though. Gotta know basic networking or TCP/IP before you install Windows 2008 server. It also helps to know Windows 2008 server too.

Everybody starts somewhere- so I'm going to give you some advice based solely on assumption.

192.168.1.1 = router
192.168.1.2 = reserved for future expansion / AP , etc
192.168.1.3 = server
192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10 = reserved for future expansions, printers, etc
192.168.1.11 to 192.168.1.254 , your dhcp pool for a class C network. (starting and ending)
subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1

probably saved you some reading, but as the guys above stated--- read up and play with some online subnet calculators.
