| Hi,
Guys I need your help in setting up 2 subnets at my home. I setup 2 W2K servers in the same Domain and a Professional PC. I have a 5 port hub and need help in setting 2 subnets.
THanks

| The biggest issue that you must decide is if you really want two subnets. If so, you will need one computer with two network cards (or router) to route from one subnet to the other.
You can pretty much pick any addresses you want, (choose private ones 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x, 192.x.x.x). A good example is 192.168.1.0 /24 (/24 denotes a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0), and a second range of 192,168.2.0. Note that the mask determines which portion of the address significant as a network address. From there, you would have to have a compter with two network interfaces (or a router) in between the two subnets and configure some form of routing between the to nets, (manually build the routing table or add both interfaces to a routing protocol such as RIP). Basically a routing table whether built manually or by a protocol such as RIP, tells hosts that to get to point c from point a you have to go to point b (the gateway), and vice versa from c to a.
Another trick if you don't want to route, but do want to simulate subnets for replication between sites etc. is to design a physical addressing scheme along with a logical one. Your addresses for each net could be like 192.168.1.0 for one, 192.168.1.128 for the other net, using a mask of 255.255.255.0, (same physical network).
In Active Directory you make your sites have logical addresses using a mask of 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.128 with a mask of 255.255.255.128. This logically divides the hosts that are physically addressed in such a way that they are actually on the same subnet, but AD sees them as two sites on seperate networks.
Unfortunately, there is so much more than I can relate in one post. Please get started and keep posting questions as you get more specific issues. | |

| Jeff,
I will start on this and will see how I go..Is there a guide on web where it explains in detail?
Thanks

| Best would be on the Microsoft Technet site in the resource kit for Windows 2000 Server. Most decent books for 216 should get you enough to get going, Windows 2000 Server help is pretty good for specific tasks such as routing etc.
