Hello
I have a network (actually using public IP's behind a firewall, so they are private).

the network is 206.95.x.x on the 255.255.255.128 subnet.

I now need more IP addresses. What can I do to create a compatable DHCP scope so they can all communicate?

Thanks.
 
If you can't get more IPs from your ISP in the same range, move to a private IP range (192.168.x.x; 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x) and use NAT routing to map them to your public IP address.

You can also change your sub-net mask. If you changed the 255.255.255.128 to 255.255.255.0 you would have use of all addresses in that sub-net.
