Subnet Question

[dmurray9133]

Hello. What dictates which subnet your host is on when you connect to the network? Not the mask which I know comes from the DHCP server typically, but the actual subnet octet. In a network where VLAN technology is not being used what dicatates if you are on subnet 220, 224 etc..??
