| It is important to understand the significance of the network portion of an IP address, the network ID. Hosts on a network can only communicate directly with devices that have the same network ID. If they have different network numbers, even though they may share the same physical segment, they usually cannot communicate with each other. That is, unless there is another device that can make a connection between the networks. |
