Here's the backstory. I have a client that is switching over to a VOIP phone system. They(phone company) ran some tests and determined that there was double natting. I had never heard of this but got up to speed after doing a little research.
This was an existing network that I took over and it turned out that the last IT guy had installed a Linksys Router and natting was enabled.
The servce provider router is on this subnet: 192.168.0.xxx
The Linksys router has this subnet: 192.168.1.xxx
The server was on 192.168.1.xxx
The router needed to come out because it wasn't needed and it was creating a problem.
So, I pulled the router.
Here's where it gets interesting: I had to change the ip address on the domain controller to the subnet of the service provider router. I then had to adjust the DHCP server accordingly.
Everything is working fine. Or so I thought. This morning I tried to open Users and Computers and it won't open.
I read up on this problem and will be going back tomorrow.
Anyone have any experience with this?
