Re: SBS Warning: Routable IP Address



The default in SBS 2003 for an internal addressing scheme is 192.168.16.x.
You will have less potential future problems if you can change as having
valid routable addresses internally is not a good idea. Allow the SBS to run
DHCP as its designed to do. You can give those static IP devices DHCP
reservations so they always have the same IP assigned.

During installation of SBS I get the warning:

The network adapter selected to access the local network is assigned a
routable IP address. As a result, the DHCP service on the server cannot be
installed and then configured by Setup. It is recommended that you use a
private IP address for your server's local network adapter, as this is a
more
secure configuration.

Here are the settings on our network:
SBS: 172.200.0.5
AD Server: 172.200.0.1
Gateway: 172.200.0.1
DHCP: 172.200.0.50 and up

Should we use different IP addresses? Note that we have about 10 devices
with static IPs and maybe another two dozen devices with DHCP. What would
we
have to do if we keep these IP addresses?
