Running out of IP addresses

I am running out of useable IP addresses on my subnet.

I have a network of 5 servers running Windows 2003 server on the same
domain, one of which runs DHCP for the whole network on one subnet. There
are approximately 110 client computers. In total, with workstations,
servers, routers, print servers, multi function devices etc, there are about
220 IP addresses used on the LAN.

I have a subnet of 255.255.255.0 with DHCP scope 192.168.1.10 thru
192.168.1.130

I cannot extend the present scope to include IP addresses above 130 as I
have static address assignments above 130 that cannot be moved without a
considerable amount of hassle.

Can I change the subnet to 255.255.0.0 and start to use a second scope of
192.168.2.10 thru 192.168.2.254 ?

Will this work seemlessly? Is there any other way of getting a useable
private IP address range?

TX in advance

Maurice
