2 webservers in a single LAN?

[Guy Schrank]

Hello, i have a big problem that i can't solve for days now and as I'm an amateur
I hope that some Professionals can help me. Here's my situation:

We have a MS-LAN in our school here, no domains no DNS.. nothing special. Every
PC is in the same Workgroup and we have a NT4 Server with MS Proxy Server.
The whole LAN gets internet/intranet access over the Proxy-Server ==> Dial up
over ISDN
Every PC has also a fix IP Address, so no DHCP configured.
On the NT-Server the iis4 is running perfectly at the URL: http://ntserver
(ip=192.168.1.1)
Last week I added Windows2000Server to the LAN, also without domains, without
active directory... a simple server-add to the workgroup.
Of course the iss5 of Win2000 can't be found by any PC on the LAN.
Is that normal? What can I do? Do I have to configure the Proxy Server?
(The http://w2000server with IP 192.168.5.1 can't be found....)
Is it possible to have 2 iis in a single workgroup...?
Questions an questions...

Check to make sure IIS is running on the 2000 machine & see if you can
see it locally from that machine. YES, you can have 2 IIS machines on a
LAN/Workgroup system.

There are so many possibilities where things could go wrong.... The first
thing that I noticed was the athe NT 4 IIS server was on the 192.168.1.0
network and the Win2000 IIS was on the 192.168.5.0 network (based on the 3rd
octet in the IP address). The 192.168.x.z IP addresses are private
addresses and can not (will not) be routed. You could have a simple problem
of a wrong subnet mask.

Subnet mask Nodes (IP's assigned to PC's & servers)
255.255.255.0 (256 - 2) = 254 nodes [the all 0's is the network
& all 1's is a broadcast]
255.255.254.0 (512 -2) = 510 nodes
255.255.252.0 (1024-2) = 1022 nodes

So, you could either reassign your server or reassign all of your IP
address. If you have fewer than 254 nodes, then I'd choose the server.

If this doesn't work, write me back and we'll see what else we can come up
with. (I don't check this newsgroup often though)
