SBS 2011 - Change IP range
G'day guys,
Unfortunately this is a result of being slack and now I'm paying the price.
My predecessor setup SBS 2003 with the same IP as general home routers - 192.168.1.X range. When I did a migration I needed to keep the same IP otherwise it wouldn't be able to communicate (unless I used routing - which I didn't).
So long story short the company is starting to use VPN capabilities and as a result sometimes there is a conflict between the person at home sitting on a IP range of 192.168.1.X and the company sitting on the same.
Is there a method I can employ to change the range ?? I know its highly frowned upon to change the IP once set, but is there a way to do it?
Or is it possible to set the VPN address lease to something else and the server routes between the two?
Regards,
Steve

Not clear if this is sbs 2003 or 2011 (in title)
In sbs 2011 just run the connect computer to the internet wizard.

Wow, thanks for the responses guys...
Sorry to mislead some of you. The server is indeed SBS 2011, the previous server that we migrated from is SBS 2003.
I was just trying to give some background.
Now to read all your posts :)

Also take into account that you will need to change static addresses like printers and PCs.

Ok so the consensus is that it's best to change the I range of domain?
There is no work around like changing the IP's given by the RAS for a VPN connection?

If you can change the ranges at the home network IP Range then that would probably be easier for you. The problem won't be the addresses being given its because the remote site is using the same IP range of your office.
the wizard will update RAS which is used to provide an IP for VPN users.

Ok I will advise the client and let you know what happens

Ok sorry for the extended delay, but I have now implemented the change using the suggestion by Olaf De Ceuster and David Atkin.
Basically changed the NIC address and then ran the fix my network wizard.
However what I thought was a system that was working nicely turns out that they can't send emails to various people, it comes back and says:
The server is running Sophos PureMessage. Obviously it is running SBS 2011 which includes Exchange 2010 (if I'm not mistaken).
Any ideas?? Please help going there tomorrow and would love to fix it.

Delivery is delayed to these recipients or groups:
blah@example.com
blah2@example.com
blah3@example.com
Subject: RE: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXl
This message hasn't been delivered yet. Delivery will continue to be attempted.
The server will keep trying to deliver this message for the next 1 days, 19 hours and 59 minutes. You'll be notified if the message can't be delivered by that time.

Hello again,
Have you got an SMTP Smart Host setup? (check the SBS console or EMC)
Can you confirm if you have DNS Forwarders enabled?

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately I can't RDP in anymore. So of 1/2 hr ago I'm greeted after successfully authenticating it shows me a black screen.
But yes I will check that out tomorrow first thing.
Question though why old some emails come through and others not?

Could be a few things really. I wouldn't rule out an issue with the third party server although it maybe unlikely.
If your server isn't configured with a smarthost it may be a problem with not being able to find the recipients mail server.
It could also be an issue with something being stuck in the mail queue.
Check to make sure that the domain name and external IP address isn't on any blacklists or anything, just to be sure sure.

David Atkin's advice gave me exactly what I needed to solve the issue, coupled then with my own tailored solution it fixed the problem.
If uPNP is not setup on your router manually make the change.
