changing ip-address from C-class to B-class

Hi !
Having exceeded the max. n^ of hosts allowed by C-class addresses we have decided to migrate to B-class addresses.
We have a unix server hp-9000 D310 with o.s. hp-ux 10.20, we actually use it as a NIS server.
Is it right to change only the server's IP-address and then those of the clients (after updating the file /etc/hosts) or we have to check or do something else?
Thanks in advance
Gianni

You can use subnetting but you have to specify the right gateways to each subnets on both sides when using two cards and enable ip routing/forwarding.
Or on the other hand, you can group your clients under class B and leave your servers in class C.
