Two things, maybe three. I admit I am out of my depth here, so I am suggesting
ideas that will either prompt you to consider this from a different point
of view, or encourage others who know better to jump in and correct me, in
which case I will have learned something, which is most of the goal for my
being in this space. If I did not already have a signature line and an identity
here, I would sign this "puzzled". <g>
First, not sure that "phase out" and "default" belong in the same paragraph,
let alone the same sentence. Default is default, so it seems it should be
one of the other. Not picking on your choice of words, here, just hoping
you mean to "stop" not "phase out" using .254. This means that the carrier
for the new circut has to be finished provisioning "your" circut and all
of the settings and connection on their end.
Second, if I read you correctly you have 2 NICS teamed on the same subnet
and all computers, including the SBS are attached to a switch, along with
the router. Can you help me understand the benefits of this, and have you
tried disabling one of the nics and then running the CEICW?
Third, the *kind* of service offered by the carrier should have nothing to
do with the ip settings on the ports of your devices, although it may introduce
some complexity into the relationship between the LAN and the WAN, with devices
to facilitate the hand off that I have never seen. However, a Gateway, as
commonly used is the exit point of your LAN, and then there should be (afaik)
some translation device (NAT router, Firewall, etc.) between your LAN and
the WAN.
If I understand this correctly, the GW does not need to be changed, just
the ip on the WAN side of the edge device (assuming it has changed) to meet
the requirements of the carrier so that the tranlation has somewhere to go
once it "routes" out of the LAN and into the LAN. If you have two edge devices
and are switching between them, perhaps you could use .254 on one and .253
on the other. The change from .254 down to .222 seems strange.
In any case, unless your network has some conflict with the .222 address
on "your" side of the edge device, once you key that number into its LAN
side and run the CEICW, you should be good to go. Did you say you could
ping the 10.10.0.222 address once it was in the LAN side of the router?
Fourth, and one you can only determine by speaking to the carrier, is it
possible that the DNS servers they are wanting you to use *must* be used
on their network?
Fifth: When you run the CEICW with the settings the new ISP gave you, do
you get any errors on screen or in the event viewer?
And finally, i think. Can you post up the results of ipconfig /all > c:\iptest.txt
from a workstation and the server, and provide the ip settings for both sides
of the edge device. Perhaps one that works, probably the .254 setting, and
one that does not work, the .222 setting. Those could be separate posts.,
and please don't change the ip numbers, although you could alter the internal
names so long as you were consistant.
