What is the best way to make the change? should I change the computer to the: 192. range, or the airport to the 10. range? I would assume that changing the computer to the 192. range would be easier, but then I would also have to make some changes to the AEB, since I have the server address reserved in AEB under the DHCP tab (DHCP Reservations).

Once I make the changes to AEB, what would I have to do on the server in the DNS tab under Server Admin?

Thanks!

Thanks for posting such a detailed overview!

I think I will be able to figure it out from here. However, is it important that my Airport Extreme and the Server both have IP addresses in the same range. For example, the router address on the AEB is: 192.268.1.1, while my server’s IP address is: 10.0.1.201. I have actually configured my server pretty much as you outlined, but it is still not quite where it should be, and I am wondering if the number ranges between the router and the server could be the cause of the problem.

Thanks!

Hey Robert,

I have upgraded to Leopard, and would appreciate if you can post instructions with pictures.

Thanks!

Robert, thanks for your last reply. I have been traveling and not giving much focus to this. However, I am now ready to fix this problem if you, or anyone else wish to add additional insights.

My plan, is to migrate to Leopard (because I have to), and then to Snow Leopard as soon as it becomes available. It does appear that Snow Leopard addresses (I hope) many of these DNS issues that have really limited Tiger. Should I wait another couple months or so for Snow Leopard, or go with my two-step migration plan to deal with this? If I move forward now to Leopard, will it be any easier to deal with these type of issues (I have not done much reading on Leopard)?

Thanks!
Chen
