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.
