I run a small business network and the last couple of days I have been setting up some equipment to add VPN capabilities to our network. I've got the following set up:
Windows 2008 R2 with RRAS - 172.22.200.50
Cisco RV082 router - 172.22.100.1 / 172.22.200.1
The Cisco router only support DHCP on a single class C network; 172.22.100.0/24.
Setup:
L2TP VPN Server on a Windows Server 2008 machine which is behind a router, which is behind a modem/router.
Modem/Router (IP: 192.168.2.1, Subnet: 255.255.255.0, DHCP serves 192.168.2.2 to router)
----|_ Router (IP: 192.168.2.2, Subnet: 255.255.255.0, Sub LAN IP: 192.168.0.1, Sub LAN Subnet: 255.255.255.128, DHCP serves 192.168.0.* to computers)
------------|_ Windows Server 2008 (IP: 192.
Using Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
I've got two ethernet ports. One is connected to a router which is connected to the internet. This portion of the network is fine. The router runs DHCP on the 192.168.1.x subnet, and provides a Company1 WiFi for guests, which does not have access to servers etc.
The idea is to have a second LAN, through the Windows server.
I have a Win2k8 R2 server and Win 7 clients. The Server has DHCP and DNS running on it. So far so good everything works fine.
Now the problem comes when I also enable DHCP on the router so that clients can get an Internet connection when the Server is down.
Given a LAN with default gateway of 10.5.1.1 and subnet of 255.255.0.0
The DHCP range is currently set in the range of 10.5.2.1 to 10.5.3.254
The 10.5.1.x range is reserved for static IP's.
I want to increase the DHCP pool ( the 10.5.2.x - 10.5.3.x range is too small )
Is this DHCP scope limited to the 2.x and 3.x range because of the 255.255.0.0 subnet?

This has been bothering me for a couple of days,
I have two subnets:
192.168.1.0/24 : This is the subnet used by my ISP/router.
