Help!! I'm Stuck with LAN problem

[oscartony]

ok i was called to an office yesterday as a favour for a friend who was short staffed as they could not get onto their outlook inboxes etc. It turned out that the HDD of the server had about 6.5MB left of storage, so i did a disc clean up and managed to free 1.5GB. I rebooted the server (2003)and had a peice of paper in front of me (IP's Changed)

PRIMARY DNS Server 214.50.160.100

SECONDARY DNS Server 216.249.130

Real IP Number Allocation 216.249.251.40/29

Subnet Mask 255.255.255.248

IP Addresses 216.249.251.40 Unuseable Network Address

Router 216.249.251.41

Firewall 216.249.251.42 to 213.249.251.46

not used 214.249.251.47

I seem to have done something wrong as the reception PC now has no Internet Connection and The office has. Any Advice would be much appreciated as i am expecting to be there after lunch to try again but need to know,

A) during DNS Settings for server what is the actual IP address of the server?

B)how do i enable DHCP and do i need to do this?

Thanks Guys
