Thanks for the help and clearificatioin. I'll play with this over the weekend. Maybe a good healthy power cycle is what it needs. If I dont post back, that meens it works. JMair

Thanks for the help. 255.255.0.0 is our subnet. So if I wanted the range of 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.254.254, my subnet should be 255.0.0.0 ?

The problem I'm encountering is, Dynamic or not, I'm stuck with less than 250 cleint machines. Any Ideas where I can look to broaden my range? I'm pretty sure my scope is fine. Hope this helps some. Let me know if there is anything else that may help and I'll post a shot also. http://www.parkcountyre2.org/images/dhcp/dhcp1.jpg http://www.parkcountyre2.org/images/dhcp/dhcp2.jpg

Windows Server 2003 , all machines are XP pro

I'm using DHCP for other machines, but my firewall only lists IPs, not computers, and for easy reading I wouldnt mind knowing what machine is located where. If my DHCP scope is from 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.20.254, shouldn't i be able to set a client with a static Ip of 10.1.x.x manually and it should work as well as a static IP of 10.1.1.x ? For some reason it's not, and I cant figure out why. To ensure that the subnet isn't an issue, it is 255.255.0.0 (unless this is the cause.)

I’m an Administrator in a small district with nobody to discus tech questions, and stumbling onto your Forum/Site has been a godsend. Thanks for being here! Ok, the question. We run all Windows 2003 and XP pro machines. Currently our ip range is 10.1.1.1 – 10.1.1.254, but would like to go to the High School machines and make them static to 10.1.2.1 – 10.1.2.254. Where would I go to make these IPs work on the network? In DNS I’ve added a new Subnet for 10.1.2.0 – 10.1.2.254 in the reverse Lookup, but that didn’t work. Any help would be excellent. Thanks.
