Default Gateway IP different from IP address of PC

[Guest Alice]

My default gateway (on WinXP Pro SP2) is 10.10.12.1 and the IP address of my

PC is 10.10.13.181. I think this is why I have trouble logging in to the

network every morning. Is it the default gateway IP that needs to be

changed? PC's computer name was changed about a month ago. Thanks.

Absolutely correct Alice. Two different subnets. Your gateway should be

pointing to your DC.

Should probably point to the ip address of the router on your subnet or

vlan.

What is your subnet mask? Its possible that those are both on the same

network if the subnet mask defines it as such.
