Yes, supose you had a mask like that:255.255.255.0 so, to route to 
another ip address it must be anoter class "c" ip ex:
your ip: 200.231.123.5
other peer ip mus be at least: 200.231.nnn.x where nnn is different from 123.

or, choose another netmask ex: 0xfffffff0. (this mask gives you an 
address range of 16) so your configuration may be:
your ip 200.231.123.5   (range from 0 to 15)
other peer ip: 200.231.123.17 (range from 16 to 31).


note: all ips in the same ethernet must have the same netmask.
