Two nets, same LAN

Our engineering department is driving me insane. They are constantly testing
devices on our network, using up IP addresses. I had some addresses set
aside that were separate from our DHCP scope, but those have been gobbled up
by more devices, VPN addressing, additional websites, etc.

How do I setup a separate network just for these knuckleheads and their
devices?

not sure the issue, but you may want to do two NICs on one computer with two subnets. For more and other information, go to http://howtonetworking.com.

Don't send e-mail or reply to me except you need consulting services. Posting on MS newsgroup will benefit all readers and you may get more help.
