Wow, thanks everyone! This makes way more sense now. I had no idea the network id was part of the IP address—always thought it was just random numbers.
I tried the `ipconfig` trick and saw the 192.168.1 thingy, so that’s the network id? Cool!
Follow-up q: If I change my router, does the network id stay the same or does it reset?
Also, shoutout to whoever mentioned Fing—just downloaded it and it’s pretty neat for scanning devices.
Y’all are lifesavers!
