[billb]

this is a private made up range

i now need more than the 254 address's on my network should i be simply be able to add another scope - eg 172.16.2.1 - 254 cos it wont let me?

for the sake of completion thought i'd let u know extending the existing ip range worked fine rather than adding a new scope - has taken till now for the old IT manager to bugger off so I could change it - thanks for the help chaps.
