[NTLUG:Discuss] Gateway on a different subnet?

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello:

I am setting up a server for a client's network.

Their network admin gave me the IP info and it looks strange to me.
The machine's IP address and the gateway are on two separate subnets.
I have always had the gateway and the machine IP on the same subnet
and am wondering if this will work.

Here are the settings (Numbers masked with letters):
Machine IP 66.b.c.d 
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.243
Gateway IP 209.e.f.g

This just does not look right to me.

Can someone confirm that this will work/not work?

Thanks,
	Neil
