Need a Superscope guru! 1

[JayIT]

I set up a superscope as follow

Scope 1 = 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254 - 255.255.255.0
Scope Options = dns 192.168.0.1 / 192.168.0.2
Router 192.168.0.3
DNS Domain Name domainname

Scope 2 = 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254 - 255.255.255.0
Scope Options = dns 192.168.0.1 / 192.168.0.2
Router 192.168.0.3
DNS Domain Name domainname


DCHP, DNS set on DC1 IP 192.168.0.1 - 255.255.255.0
DNS set on DC2 IP 192.168.0.2 - 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.0.3

When computers get a dynamic IP from scope1 = No problems

When computers get dynamic IP from scope2 (because 1 is full) then they can't access anything on or out the network, can't ping any of the DC's.

What am I missing?

Thanks

my guess:
The router for scope 2 is on the other subnet.

The guys on 192.168.1.x subnet don't know how to get to 192.168.0.3...

Can that interface of the router be given 2 IPs?
like 192.168.0.3 for subnet1, and 192.168.1.3 for subnet 2.

i'm not sure but i noticed that your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 if you open it up to 255.255.0.0 will that help?

if you open it up to 255.255.0.0 will that help?
My guess is that tmbtech might have something. Your set up for the 192.168.0.x based on 255.255.255.0. If you changed it to 255.255.0.0 then you'de be working with 192.168.x.x. I've never worked with superscopes, but good old fashion subnetting tells me tmbtech is on to something.

Thanks guys.

The reason I didn't go with changing the subnetmask to 255.255.0.0 is because hlf of my network use static IP's, and it would be painfull to have to change that many subnetmasks....

DCHP, DNS set on DC1 IP 192.168.0.1 - 255.255.255.0

You mention DHCP, so why use static ip's? Doesn't make much sense with scopes. Need more info. Thanks.

Use the mask of 255.255.252.0 on the router interface and all will be fine.

255.255.255.0 only tells the router where one scope, 192.168.0.0, of the network is. The router does not know where the 192.168.1.0 network is.
