The subnet mask 255.255.255.192 indicates a block size of 64 IP addresses per subnet. The IP address 172.16.25.183 belongs to the subnet 172.16.25.128/26, while 172.16.25.193 belongs to the next subnet 172.16.25.192/26. Therefore, the server has moved to a different subnet and will require a router to communicate with devices on the previous subnet.
