If there are many computers connected to my ISP then doesn't that mean they are all on the same network?
If so, I should be able to see them. Why is it that this does not happen?
The question Other computers behind isp cable says that you can see all computers onle if they are on the same subnet mask. But I have observed that the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
for almost all computers.
Or does this have another meaning?
Used to be (maybe 12 years ago) when I checked the "network" here at home, I'd see about a dozen computers in other homes in our neighborhood, several of which were "open kimono". I was always tempted to print stuff on their printers, but never did it. (Newer cable modems don't act this way, I'm pretty sure.) – Daniel R Hicks – 2013-11-16T19:41:01.007
