A network issue has been reported where two computers in the same segment cannot communicate, despite having what appears to be properly configured addresses. Investigation reveals a discrepancy: one machine uses a mask of 255.255.255.0, while the other employs a mask of 255.255.254.0. What is the MOST likely resolution to allow seamless communication between these devices?
Adjust the network address of the second machine to match the mask setting of the first
Replace the network interfaces of both computers
Divide the network into smaller, distinct segments with new masks
Standardize the network mask on both computers to 255.255.255.0
