How do I add define the subnet for two loctions using Windows 2000 server?

Following up on another question I asked eariler. Here is the response I received for an expert:

If you have no subnets, then you have only one site....presumably the default first site. AD does not know that your have two sites, and so the PCs in one site may be using the DCs in another site. If you have a fast connection between the two sites, it won't matter very much, but you really should define the subnets for each location, define two different sites, and move the DCs to the appropriate sites.

My question is "How do I configure the subnet for two locations?".

Thanks!

are you talking about setting this up in active directory, or actually deploying separate network addresses for each site?

can you explain your network layout, and what you're trying to do?

Setting up in active directory.

The network in Site B is already established. I have two sites both with Windows 2k servers with Global Catalog enabled.

Someone recommended to me that I should setup a separate site in Active Directory because AD did not know about the second site.

Site A: 192.168.3.x
Site B: 192.168.1.x

What other information to you need to assist?

Thanks!

Two sites don't need AD.
Just add users to both.
Network from one to another.
Once each has address they can communicate, no other server software needed
