[ale] Question on network

[Chuck Payne]

Guys,

I need to as a question, I am weak on networking. Every where I have
worked we had a network guy, so I didn't have to deal with this much

Currently were I work I am about to run out of ip's, for now every is
192.168.11.0/24 lets say

We are using a Class C ( 10.11.0.0/24 254 Hosts Usable ), our head
program was us to move to a class B ( 192.168.0.0/16 65534 Host Usable
)

My question is this, I currently have a firewall that is my gateway,
it is 192.168.11.254/255.255.255.0

If I change all the ip's even the gateway netmask from 255.255.255.0
to 255.255.0.0 with it work with my gateway? Then can I use any ip on
the 192.168.0.0 range with my gateway.

So for example I set up the the following to use

192.168.10.0/255.255.0.0
192.168.11.0/255.255.0.0
192.168.12.0/255.255.0.0

I am currently reading a few books, but they aren't answering my question.

I like to be able for ip to work together with the one fireway. By the
way, I know that 192.168.0.0/24 is a private range for a class c, and
what I am talking would be better with 10.0.0.0/16, but I am use to
working with 192.168.0.0.
