hi all
desperately need some help here.
i handle basic IT support at the school i work for. earlier this evening i was using RDC from a workstation while installing a program on that same workstation (i was trying to check user permissions on the server).
the program i had installed wasn’t accessing the network drive it needed on the server, so i thought i’d check the IP address it–the workstation–was using.
i opened up TCP/IP properties, saw the ip address was set to a static IP, and changed it to automatic as on teh other workstations.
well, as soon as i had done that, i realized i had changed the SERVER settings, not the workstation settings! oops…
i tried taking a guess at the IP addresses i had just changed but no luck–the whole network is done now! not a big deal at night but come tomorrow there will be people needing to get online and onto the server.
my question is: how can i find the previous IP address that the server was using? do i call the DSL provider? is the info located in the router’s webpage? (i’m able to access that, and could view/change settings if needed).
what i changed were the first three fields in the top half of the IP address/DNS/gateway, etc box.
help!
