   Hi Björn!   
      
   03 May 2019 21:46, from Björn Felten -> All:   
      
    BF>    I've been given an IP4 number from my provider in the third of four   
    BF> /26 subnets. I.e. I have x.x.x.157 with a subnet mask of   
    BF> 255.255.255.192 and, of course, default gateway x.x.x.129   
    BF>    I suppose the other 61 IP numbers in my subnet have been reserved   
    BF> mainly to my neighbours. Maybe not necessarily, but probably, no?   
    BF>    If so, if I find out that one of the other 61 IP numbers was given   
    BF> to my neighbour friend, wouldn't it be possible to connect directly to   
    BF> his computer without having to go via the default gateway?   
      
   Nornally yes.   
   But usually direct packets are filtered out.   
   So in this case probably no.   
      
   Just try to make an nmap scan of the network and see what you see ;)
