About Multiple Scopes in DHCP

for each scope, you'll have to exclude the addresses in the other scope.

For example, in the sales scope, you would exclude 192.168.100.2 - 192.168.100.5. And vice versa for the marketing scope.

If you want to share your internet connection, you do so if you have DSL or Broadband. You can purchase a hub or a router, plug the modem into the uplink port, and plug all other machines to the 'normal' ports. In your DHCP, you can specify DNS servers and a gateway for both scopes.

If you're on dialup, you'll have to use ICS.

You can't. At least not the way you have things set up. Since it sounds like all machines are on the same physical network the DHCP server will start handing out addresses from the lowest number (192.x.x.x) first and then move higher (200.x.x.x) I suppose you could have marketing start their computers first.

You cannot set up scopes with two different IP ranges on the same physical subnet. Also note that the 192.168.x.x subnet is in the private IP address range (and cannot be connected directly to the Internet), and the 200.200.200.x subnet falls within the public IP adress range (and cannot be used if the computers will be connected to the Internet unless those IP addresses are registered to you).

How are you/will you be connected to the Internet (dial-up, ISDN, leased line, broadband)?
