| Hi,
I'm trying to install Win2k Prof onto a few clients via RIS.
I've installed RIS on a server, I have a DHCP, Active Directory and DNS server running... Now when I boot a client computer from the floppy i created with RBFG.exe, it appears on screen as:
DHCP.....
No responce from server
Press any key to reboot
Now I checked the DHCP server and it seems to have obtained an address, so does anyone know whats going on ?
Oh BTW, I am using a nic which is supported by the RBFG floppy | |
|
| if no-one can answer me, does anyone know where I can go and learn everything about RIS and the way it works ? | |
|
| oh no, never mind
I found out the reason for the problem | |
|
| I am curious to know what it was it was please tell. | |
|
| Hi adam,
The RIS server is multi-homed, and as I know now, RIS does not support multi-homed PC's !!!
I'm installing SP2 at the mo, so if that does not work, I'm going to have to take 1 NIC out  ! | |
|
| dammit
I've installed SP2 and took one of the NIC's out of the RIS server, but still, when I restart the client machine,
DHCP....
No Reply from a server
Press any key to reboot
But the client machine is getting an IP from the DHCP server.
DHCP, Active Directory and DNS are all in 1 computer. RIS in installed onto a seperate computer, which gets its IP from DHCP
Is there anything I have to do to make the DHCP server point to the RIS server when giving out IP's ?
God damn it !!! | |

| I don’t know anything about what you are talking about, but you said that RIS does not support muit-home PCs, ok so can you remove that from the PC. You said something about removing it from the server. Is this an option? Like I said, I don’t know anything about it I am just trying to help. | |
|
| thank you catwomen, your help is appreciated !
unfortunally, i have already tryed what you said, but it still ain't working... I'm trying a few other things at the mo to try get it to work  ! | |
|
|
|

I'm at home now, so it'l be monday before i get to try anything !!
Thanks again, I'll tell you if that fixs it !!
