Fixed IP problem??

Hi All
new to SBS2000 so a bit dim.
Have all clients on DHCP. Server is 10.0.0.2
All clients could access an ISDN router on 10.0.0.3 that gives external
access to a remote database. The IP address and name of the database is set
in the hosts file.

Had to set up some clients with a fixed IP address so they could operate
some telephony software. Since then those clients are unable to access the
external database although all the other clients on DHCP still can.
Giving them a fixed IP seems to have messed access up. The fixed IPs range
is from 10.0.0.102 -106 and subnet of 255.255.255.0 are all set on the
client PCs but I havnt done anything on the server. I suspect I need to do
more than this. Can anyone help.
Cheers, David

Not really my field but do the Static IP machines need a gateway address for
the Router?
You could try an IPConfig for a working machine and then for the duff
machine and compare

Thanks Pat
I have just realised that I had set the gateway to the address of the ADSL
router gateway ( I have an isdn router and an adsl router) so have set it
back to the address of the server and all is fine now.
Cheers, David
