I am in the process of converting my ip address segments within my network. I have assigned two ip addresses to the server. I don’t use DHCP or WINS yet.
I have a lmhosts file on the Win 95 systems which are on other subnets addressing my Servername and IP.
Problem: When I change the lmhosts file to the new secondary server address and do a start find computer in network neighbourhood I cannot find the server. But yet I can ping both IP and UNC.
Change the lmhost back to the primaryserver address and due a start find computer it works.
I cannot use both as it causes conflicts with exchange.
The problems are with the remote PC’s on a different IP segment going through routers.
This is not making any sense to me since Ican ping both IP and UNC of both primary and secondary.
I need to map drives to the server and cannot do it due to this and net use does not work using the new IP either.
