I have w2k LAN using 90.0.0.1/200 ip addresses. I have installed W3K LAN with 192.168.100.1/200 both are using 255.255.255.0 masks.

I have exchange 5.5, Oracle dB server, satellite connections using 90.x.x.x. My intention is to chagne class A address to calls C address but cannot go to each machine and simply change the IPs.

I was planning to brindge both the networks and pull down each Wks one by one from old to new IP scheme, alowing both sides to access email, DB and internet without diconnecting them for days.

I would welcome any suggestion and the procedure to bridge the network.

Thank you in advance for your support

Are the workstations configured manually with static IP's if not, you could setup a DHCP server with the new range on, why do you need 2 separate networks rather than 1 consolidated private IP range with a router for the Satellite connection routing between addresses ?

I need to change the IP addressing but cannot change all at once as I have to configure my all servers on the same day that can not done, therefore I am looking for bridging solution to run both network and then pull all workstation to new network one by one, leaving users to use the system normally.
