Is your SBS server also using the 10.0.0.X IP range??

network locally through a hub. A little more history is that we are in the
hospitality industry using a POS system at the stores that run on Static
IP's. We have a NT workstation acting as a server (10.0.0.100) connected to
a hub and front of the house NT workstations running with the static ip
range 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.7 (can be higher depending upon the number of
terminals) The win2k machines needs to remain attached to this network
because it runs a service required by the POSDriver system. (gift/credit
card software) I am checking with the POS company to see if I can change
the workgroup name without affecting too much operationally.

do need the Win2k machine to be able to dial out to corporate without
effecting the service. The dial up adaptor on the win2k machine connects to
our sbs03 server with IP address of 10.0.0.1 I tried to assign a IP and get
better communication but the problem I am having now has to do with my email
access. I get an error message saying that the network connection does
exist when I do a check name on the while connected.
