In Windows, when you enter an IP address, the subnet mask is automatically displayed. However, when you enter an IP address starting with 192.168.x.x, a specific value appears, while for IP addresses starting with 10.10.x.x, a different value is displayed.
The reason for this difference is due to the default subnet masks assigned to different ranges of IP addresses. The default subnet mask for IP addresses starting with 192.168.x.x is 255.255.255.0, while for IP addresses starting with 10.10.x.x, the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. This difference in subnet masks results in the different values displayed when entering these IP addresses in Windows.
