IP addresses in a domain

I am a bit confused by the concept of the domain. Does every computer in a
domain using different IP address? Does it matter if two computers in two sub
domains using the same private IP addresses like 192.168.0.1?

I believe you should take a look at the basics for networking.....

On the network every IP-adress should allways be unique. This has
nothing to do with domains. Domains are a logical grouping of Windows
servers who can share security, so you can have a single point of
administration of userid's and passwords, and one login which can be
given accessrights to resources on one or more computer (server).

Thanks for the information. Just a newbie here...

I am still confused with the following scenario.

If I have a domain Test.com with two sites A and B, there is a dc at each
site, can I use the same private network for both site A and B? For example:
192.168.0.x. How will the client computer on site A be able to contact the
client computer on site B?

George:

You have at least two IP networks, with differents IP sets in order to
implement to routing to connect this two sites and enable the ip packet
routing between one site and another.

Example

Site 1 Ip subset: 192.168.1.0/24 (assuming less than 254 machines)
Site 2 Ip subset: 192.168.2.0/24

Hope this helps

I have two more questions:

1. If I still want to use 192.168.1.0/24 for both sites, will the client
computers in these two sites be able to join the domain (since they may have
the same IP address)? I know it's not applicable, just curious...

2. How do we normally connect these two sites? Do I have to use site to site
VPN connection? Can I just replicate the dcs in these two sites through
general TCP/IP?

Thanks in advance.

If you use site to site VPN, the two sites will normally need to be in
different IP subnets, so that the routing will work.

As soon as there are equal IP-adresses in the network, both clients
will have connectivity problems. They will not be able to communicate
with the DC in an orderly fashion. It might work for a brief moment in
which you are able to join the domain, but there will allways be
trouble very soon...

This is more a routing question. If you have two locations connected by
the internet, you could use a VPN tunnel over the internet to connect
both sides. This could be accomplished by placing two servers with
routing and remote access enabled. This is some configuration, and if
you do not even understand the concept of TCP/IP networking I advise
you to get someone to help you setting this up.
