Jeff,
To better answer your question I would like to have some information
on your network topology. For example, you can add additional subnets such as
192.168.2.0 and 192.168.3.0 with the addition of a router or two. Do you use
DHCP? Are there any remote offices?
If you are using DHCP and add additional subnets you will need to
configure your routers to forward DHCP requests of make available a DHCP server
on each subnet. DHCP requests are sent initially as broadcasts and therefore
do not pass through routers by default. In the old days we used DHCP relay
agents on out NT 4 boxes to facilitate DHCP requests or use a multihomed server
(2 NICS with one on each subnet). Whew what memories.

Subject: [MALWARE FREE]Need more IP addresses
*DOUBLE POST* I sent this to the NT System Admin Group too.
I am in need of more IP addresses on my network.
My current network looks like this:
192.168.1.x
255.255.255.0
I am using 248 IP's currently, so I have very little expansion available. I do
see the potential to increase in the following year, so I had better get my
butt thinking about this soon. Plus I have Christmas and New Year's holidays
that I could work with no one on our network for 3 full days.
I am thinking about changing my subnet to something like 255.255.254.0 or
255.255.252.0. Would this be a good way, or would I be better adding an
additional router and just creating a new 255.255.255.0 network on 192.168.2.x?
I guess my question is which is the "correct" way?
