We recently switched out our PDC and the IP address changed. &nbsp;The old IP is not being used for anything. &nbsp;We have many VPN users and there are quite a few ARP requests from our firewall address to the old PDC due to the VPN connections. &nbsp;There are about 30 in a minute. &nbsp;Can I assign the old IP address as well to the new PDC? &nbsp;In the properties of the adapter in the IP settings on the advanced tab where it says &nbsp;Interface Metric what does that mean?

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
