Setting up a subnetwork

[ZENYO]

Merry Hump Day All...

I need to setuup a test server for a handfull of users to evaluate an ERP system. Once I have set up the server I want to be able to have users connect to it and run the ERP system. I do not want or domain controller to see this server.

Current set-up
Windows 2k server (DC):
-AD, DNS.

Test Machine will be Win 2k server. It will have a completely different IP range.

Is there a way to get users to connect to the test machine without manualy changing there IP Address?

One option is to map the hard drive (of the system with the program) on your users machines. You can either push a script to them (from the server) or configure each one manually. Then when they boot-up/logon they will have a networked folder that resides elsewhere.

Add a device to do NAT, routing, or otherwise a proxy between the different subnets.

Thanks for the tips. We found another way. In TCP/IP advanced settings we were able to to ad a second IP address and Subnet and so on... It seems to work fine that way.

thanks...

yea, that should work fine too (I misunderstood because I thought you didn't want to change to manual IP address settings)

we're not evven runnign DHCP on are actuall network (not yet anyway ) so that's not really a problem. I honestly forgot you could have multiple settingsin TCP/IP.
