Allow other subnet to connect

[Resonate]

Hi i have a win 2k Domain - all clients and servers for example have IP 10.195.7.* which works good but now we have ran out of IP's in this range. So now we assign IP's 10.83.4.* to PC's but these PC's wont connect to the domain. All equipment is on the same LAN.

Please help

By the way all the clients and servers can ping one another. I have set the DNS on the 10.83.4 machines to that on the domain controller where DNS is running

what is the subnet mask ?? if it is 255.0.0.0 then it should work, if you have set it to anything else then you will need to set up a router to router the traffic between the 10.195.7 and 10.83.4 networks. This could be either a physical router(cisco etc) or set up routing on one of the servers

ok lets assume the Ips are now 10.195.7.* and 192.168.1.*

same LAN and can ping one another?

Would this deffinatly require routing?

 

[newmann]

different ip subnets would require router yes

 

[Resonate]

so if they can already ping one another what kind of routing changes are required?

Im not a god with routing only very basic knowledge

if you can ping, more likely dns issue. can you ping dns server? what do you get if using nslookup command?

hi there

can ping dns server which is also the domain controller. nslookup domainname from the client machine sucessfully resolves the domain controllers IP addresses
