Clients w/ new IP’s unable to see PDC

by enserng . Updated 25 years, 8 months ago

Okay all-

I have an NT4 server with Exchange 5.5, clients of 95 and 98 access it.

We had a base of IP’s, say 111.111.26.64-128. From ISP, we needed another block of 64, they gave us 111.111.226.1-63. Netmask for all is 255.255.255.0

<<*not the real Ip's, but the 3rd and 4th portions are what we have... =)>>

All machines with the old block access the network, internet, and exchange fine.

Any machine I try to give the new IP to will not log onto the network/Exchange but can access the internet- new block was added to the firewall.

I know about NT not liking different subnets, but is there a fix to this- or do I need a complete 128 set? I’ve just finished getting all switched to this new set and really don’t want to have to visit each machine again.

We utilize alot of outside DB that use the IP’s as part of the authentication, so DHCP is really not an option.

THANKS!!

Ideas- please?
