it would be in your router/server configuration information check there

Post your current network configuration and we can give you detailed instructions.
But whatever you do, ignore the post from "gargoyl". That can potentially cause MASSIVE problems on your network. I had to clean up a large network 2 years ago where the idiot that designed it used the IP space for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute on the inside network behind a NAT firewall. PCs, servers, printers and other equipment on the network would randomly drop off the network and remain down for anything from a few minutes to several days. They had over 400 nodes with static IP addresses (yeah, including every PC) and it took me over a week to sort them out.
There is never a need to "steal" outside public IP addresses. If you use a Class A private IP network (10.0.0.0/8) you can have over 16 million machines on a flat network. If you subnet that to 10.0.0.0/16, you still get over 65,000 hosts per subnet and 256 subnets -- enough for any network.

simple thing is u can change u r subnet mask and keep on adding PC's,but that may increase the traffic on the network.
you can create a different network and put a router between the new one and the existing network,but this needs lots of configuration

Simple - set up a box with an IP address that is seen by the outside world... and behind that box set up an internal network or networks using a 'stolen' class B or even a class A network.
You have pretty much unlimited IP addresses behind the box - and all your systems are seen as one IP address by the outside world... I've been at several businesses that used that approach. Was great, as a Systems Administrator, we could setup up sub nets for everything internally, compartmentalize to our hearts content...
And the Network Address Translation box made everyone seem to be a single IP... helped in fighting hacking as well.
Just my .01...

Set up a outside IP that is for the world, and a inside class A or B IP for the network. The router can be used for redirection.

which class of subnet are you using? A B or C...
and has your network been subnetted thru CIDR? (using extra host bits) for instance you use class B 172.16.0.0,255.255.0.0
but your network segment subnet might be 255.255.192.0, there fore dividing your first network into 4 sub-networks. with approx 16000 hosts ea...research more info, and email me if you want...
