Slowness

I recently changed all the IP address on one side of my
network to match the other side, thus giving me one large
network. But for some reason now the network has slowed
down a ton. The network is not very large to begin with,
maybe 60 computers. DNS is running on the server. I've
set the workstations to look at it for dns.

Anyone know why changing IP addresses would slow the
network down?

What do you mean by "one side of the network"???

If you have networks separated by a router, they have to
be different on subnets. If you post the addresses and
subnet masks of both "sides" before you made the change
it might help determine what's going on.

Before you changed, what connected the two networks?

Is the DNS server configured correctly? Are the right
addresses listed on the name servers tab for all your DNS
zones? Is reverse lookup configured correctly?

Do your routers / switches have IP addresses that need to
be changed?

Are you using WINS? DHCP? Are there old addresses
cached in DNS or WINS?

Did you change addresses on servers or just
workstations? Domain controllers?

Do any of your clients have LMHOSTS or HOSTS entries
pointing to the old addresses?

Do you have sites and subnets configured correctly in AD
Sites and Services?
