network question

If I have 2 seperate networks - one on static ips, one on dhcp ips.
connected through a double addressed server. Is it possible for the static
folks to look through the server to see the dynamic folks? the server has 2
ethernet cards. one has a static internet address connected to a router with
4 other machines also having static inet ips. the other ethernet card is
connected to a hub serving a bunch of pc's dynamic ips. Server is using
win2k server.
Thanks

Is it possible? Yes. Beyond that you are pushing my meagre store of
network knowledge. But, I belive that if the servr in the middle routes or
forwards ip information, it shouldn't be a problem. The clients on either
side are going to bne using something for domain name resolution, either
WINS, or DNS (I think Winns is still available in Win2k, for legacy reasons,
but most likely the clients are using DNS)

Are you trying to let them see each other, or trying to block them from each
other?

I want the static pc's on one side to see the dynamic pcs on the other side.

What is the reasoning behind creating this network configuration?

In a typical DHCP setup, you would set aside a range of IP addresses (or a set
of static IPs) in the DHCP server that DHCP does not attempt to lease out. These
physical boxes can be anywhere on the network.

Also, I question why you are using the server as a gateway in this manner. It's
probably more beneficial to have all PCs, whether statically or dynamically
addressed, connected to the central switch - including the router.

If you did this because your hub ran out of ports, and are using the ports on
the router, just go out and buy a larger switch and streamline the entire
network wiring.

Yes, you can setup the server as a gateway, which basicly makes it a
router. But see matt's reply below, the setup your describing seems a
little more complicated than it needs to be.

It is possible. If you post your question in MS newsgroup then you will get
correct answer

Nick,

It is very possible to do what you wish with your current configuration. You
need to use Win2K server as a router for each network by enabling the Routr and
Remote Access Service.

You answer awaits in Mark Minasi's book "Mastering Windows 2000 Server."

I was going to post the solution, but it's like 5 pages of material, and the
book's worth the $60.
