Home Server on new IP Pool allocation

Question

Hi

I have a server with an internal address of 192.168.1.100

I have moved to a new home and the IP Pool of the current router is 192.168.2.x

Is there a way I can make the router discover this server without having to change the internal IP address?

I dont have a KB or Mouse to get in and change the IP of the server at this time :)

Any help appreciated.

Possibly you could change the router consider the "internal netmask" to be 255.255.64.0, i.e. match first 22 bits instead of regular 255.255.255.0, 24 bits.

Now, not every router supports that.
