Different subnet on LAN

[cms.hcsc]

Hello all,

I have a need to connect a device with a static LAN ip of 192.168.200.1 to my current LAN (192.168.1-254 255.255.255.0). I would only be accessing this device from a single computer on the LAN. Can this be done w/o making any configuration changes to my current LAN config?

I would not recommend it BUT most network adapters have the ability to put a secondary ip address on them. So you could assign your pc a IP on the standard network and on the 192.168.200.x. You can plug the 192.168.200.1 device into the same network and even though it technically overlaps the other devices are too stupid to know it exists. This can though cause issues, the largest being if you have DHCP enable on the 192.168.200.1 device. In general it will work but it is so non standard you might find a strange issue.
