| Ok,
I have 3 computers here (my hands on experience for the exam) one is running win2kserver and the two others win2kprofessional... The server is ONLY running DHCP:
-Scope: 10.10.10.10 to 10.10.10.40
subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
Scope is active
no additional configuration
I read that there are 3 methods to asign an ip address to a DHCP client:
-manually
-automatic with DHCP Server
-automatic in the local computer (169.254.x.x)
and I also read that if the DHCP CLient (for some unknown reason) don't see the DHCP server then it automatically obtain an ip address like 169.254.x.x
That is my case. I tried a lot of different scopes and nothing.....alwasy I have the same ip addresses in my 2 clients 169.254.130.225.....I ping the server and it responds...Actually, I moved 2GB of files from the client to the server..so the is no conncetivity problems.....
Question: Would it be that I have to configure DNS on the server and then on the client????
Any suggestion would be apppreciated.
Thanks | |

| On both the clients (locally) set up (In TCP/IP settings) to obtain an IP adress automatically from the DHCP server. Put in the IP address of the DHCP server in the configuration. BUT before it'll work go to command prompt and use IPCONFIG /RELEASE which forces the release of the currently assigned IP addresses. Then use IPCONFIG /RENEW which will force the DHCP server to renew the IP lease and allocate the client a new one from the pool (scope). This way both clients have a unique IP address. If they are the same (as per your current config) it'll cause communication problems. You don't NEED a DNS server setup unless you want to use Computer Names or Fully Qualified Domain Names to 'ping' or connect. If no DNS you need to know the IP of the DHCP server. You should configure DNS but will make no difference if you ONLY use IP addresses. | |

| Is the DHCP server authorized?
Have you looked at the event viewer regarding DHCP issues? | |

PD. What do I have to have in the event view concerning DHCP to know it is working? how do that message look like? | |

Yes it is
That web site is very interesting, thank you
Aclaration:
My server IP address is configured automaticaly....is that the problem? | |
| TW2001 2002-03-21, 6:14 pm |
| Yes.You need a static IP. | |

| Its working now!!!!
But I had to:
1. Uninstall DHCP
2. Configure a static IP address on the server.
3. Reinstall DHCP
4. Autorize the server (192.168.0.1)
5. Create a scope (192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.100)
6. Activate the scope
7. restart the client
Thats all!!!!
Client is 192.168.0.10 now.
Thanks to all !!

| I think the lesson here is that the DHCP server must have a static IP address and not set up to Auto allocate from DHCP. Glad it's fixed. | |

| At least now I know which port to test |
