Private IP addressing

[Guest]

Hi,

I would really appreciate some advice or feddback with this question.

I currently support an Organization with 140 staff and about seven Windows
2003 servers. We are currently using the 10.0.0.0 network for our Intranet.
Our Checkpoint Firewall uses NAT translation and allows the staff to access
the Internet using the 209.58 IP address.

Here is our problem. A lot of Airports and hotels also use the 10.0.0.0 IP
address range. This causes a conflict whenever our staff trys to use our VPN
at these locations.

Can we change our Intranet addresses to 172.16.0.0 range? Are there any
known problems with these addresses?

Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for you advice in
this matter.

You have replies in another group (to the effect that you should probably
change your internal IP addressing scheme to something less common, as you
can't VPN from an address on the same IP network). In the future, to make
sure you receive as much help as possible, please don't multipost - if you
need to post to multiple groups, it's best to crosspost instead, by posting
a single message to a handful of relevant groups (separate the NG names with
commas) so that everyone can follow the thread. This makes it easier for
everyone, including you.
