Static IP on LAN ???

[Andrew22]

Hi All,

I have 2 machine running on 2003 and 1 on XP, All 3 machine connect to a router via switches which also also has ability to generate DNS. One of the 2K3 machine is main domain controller server.

All is fine, but problem occurs when I assign a static IP to an another 2K3 machine for remote access. It stop communicating with other two.

I am not a networking guy so don't know how to resolve this problem. Any help please?

Thanking you & Best Regards,

Are the other 2 machines IP addresses generated by DHCP?

Make sure that the static IP address you assign is on the same subnet with the same mask as the other computers.

Can you post all 3 IP Addresses and subnet masks please? (By doing cmd -> ipconfig) on the computers
