Hi all ,I am new to this forum and not very sure networking macs to PC 2003 server.
Problem connecting to windows server 2003 via my macs after I have had a New BT 2wire router.
The problem is ,a new BT router has been installed and since then we have had problems with the IP configuration to the Agfa plating machine and the 252 Printer.
The only thing that has changed after the new router was installed was it had a different DEFAULT GATEWAY and IP ADDRESSES. (192.168.1.254)
The older router had 192.168.0.1 Default Gateway and the printer and plating machine IP addresses where set to suit that range. (plating 192.168.0.101 – printer 192.168.0.200)
The Printer was connected to the router via a network switch and to the Apple Macs, and the Plating machine was connected to a Windows 2003 server also connected to the Router.
We have had the Macs and the PC ‘s IP addresses reconfigured to suit the new routers range.192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.253.
The problem we are having is the plating machine won’t alow the Macs or the server to connect using the new IP settings but it will connect to the server if we reconfigure back to the old settings,this gives us a problem with the Apple macs that need to be connected to the plating machine and they won’t because they are set to the new routers IP range.
We have looked to see if there was any way to reconfigure the plating machines IP address to suit the router but could not find anything.
Would this setup work if we were to setup 2 IP ADDRESSES to the one NIC card on the server and both the Apple Macs that need to access the plating..
Eg. 1st address set to DHCP 192.168.1.64 - 255.255.255.0 default gateway 192.168.1.254
2nd manual 192.168.0.100 - 255.255.255.0 address to suit the settings that seem to work fine with the plating machine.
I tried these 2 ip addresses yesterday and the ducucolor 252 printer worked fine ,but still could not connect to the server.
The macs have OSX 10.6. . . AND 10.2. . .
With the new 2 ip addresses set on the macs and the windows server 2003 it shows a green light on the mac 10.6. . . saying its connected in the NETWORK Settings ,but when I go to the PC windows 2003 server and click to run the server which is connected to a Agfa Azura c85 plating machine which we use for printing ,it says Server not available.
Before the new router was installed most things worked fine with the mac with OSX 10.2 . . ,with Docucolor 252 printer and the Agfa azura plating machine,the mac with the OSX 10.6. . worked fine with the Docucolor 252 printer but not with the windows server 2003 Agfa plating machine.
Does anyone here have any idea what I can do to fix these problems.
ps.I can work my way around PC setups ok but need a detailed guide to configure the macs.
Please help if you can..
Cheers.
