Great, that's what I was hoping and expecting to be the case. &nbsp;Setting the router to a 192.168.x.1 or 254 seem a pain to be honest as I would have just changed it back afterwards.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the link, I will proceed with the install and report back.<br />
<br />
Cheers

Routers typically end in .1 or .254 in most networks, but it is by no means necessary. &nbsp;The only requirement is you use one of the following subnets:<br />
•10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255<br />
&nbsp;•172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255<br />
&nbsp;•192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255<br />
<br />
However if not using 192.168.x.x the wizard may not find the router and you have to manually enter, as it scans that subnet by default.<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
I am about to migrate to SBS 2011 from 2003 but have read in the instructions that the router address end in 1 or 254.<br />
<br />
Can anybody advise if this is necessary or not?<br />
<br />
Many Thanks

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.
