Jim - It ain't so. There should be no reason to change ip addresses on all the stuff currently in the network. UNLESS thier plan is to abandon your current IP address space in favor of one of the private network numbers and do NAT on the firewall. And even then you do not have to change the internal addresses. Sounds like scope creep on the part of the installation team to me. Now you may still have to touch every machine to change some things if they have decided to use socksified processes like telnet, ftp and such. have to replace client apps. Also would need to touch every copy of web browsers to set up proxying.

Got pulled into as a result of 'centralizing' our computer/technology staff and creation of a helpdesk. The upshot is this. We have been apprised by one of the staff (Originally selected installation/Firewall) and was told that every device behind the firewall would have to 'be touched' for anything to work. It almost sounds like a complete rework of the network setup/standard. We were told that all IP addresses would have to be changed. Somehow I get the impression that this is the installers idea, and I'm not quite willing to by into it. I feel that it should be possible to 'plug-in' any properly configured firewall (with the exception of the proxies) and not have to reconfigure machines. Am I wrong?
