Nope just make sure DNS is updated for your Exchange host.

There is nothing particular you need to do with DNS. DNS doesn't care about networks just name resolution. As long as you update your Exchange dns record with new ip your clients can access this server given you don't have some firewall rules setup between the networks. Also ensure you set up Active Directory sites and services to configure your networks.

no, they is no vpn action between networks, in our 172.0 network is new network, it doesn't have any thing just we created one domain controllor that to be local name (not registered), and my original network is 192.0 got own domain controllor (registered domain)and exchnage server 2003, in my 172.0 network got good hardware and we want to move our exchnage server to 172.0 network.. how 3rd party people provide mail facility to this small compines? through pop3 they will connect right? how to do this type of thing in my area...? sorry to bother you.. ? do we required any registered domain for that to setup new network? and you are asking vpn connection if we make vpn are we going to provide mail facility..? got lot of q's............?

Ok thanks for the clarification. Yes, you can provide pop3. I would be better if you used MAPI. Are you going to be moving your Domain controller to new network as well? If you're moving both your DC and Ex to new environment it's easy. On the new 172 network make sure you nat to the same public IP so you don't have to change your EXTERNAL dns record. Your user's in your 192 net will use DNS servers to locate the pulic IP of your Exchange server and connect over POP.

Yes, it's possible but it's alot more work. Reason being is since you said there is no vpn between these networks, Exchange and DC need to communicate between the two. First of all you should have a DC in close proximity especially on the same network if possible. But now, since DC is going to be firewalled to your Exchange, you need to open alot of ports to get it to work and I can tell you you're prob going to bang your head working out the issues that may arise. It's best to move both Ex and DC to the same network.

i want to give this exchnage server access to outside people , who ever connected internet..pop3 also configured in exchnage...?

my dummy domain is not registered domain that is (lls.biz) and DNS configured forwards(given ) which are global.. and i installed exchnage server under this domain( exchahge.lls.biz called)..and i configured the pop3 also in exchange server... in the same network(lan) i can connect this exchange server and i can send mails and retrieve,

Since it's not registered domain, outside users can't connect to it by the public name, but he can using IP. So when he configures say outlook express, he must put in the public ip of your mail server for the pop\smtp server settings. Then you need to make sure that port 110 (pop) is open on the firewall to your Exchange server.
