DHCP Clients cannot see the domain - static can

I am setting up a windows 2000 server with Proxy Server 2 and two nics. I have not been able to connect to the server using dhcp yet with a win98 se client, even though dhcp is installed and configured on the server. As soon as I give the client a fixed ip and gateway to the server, it will log in just fine and surf through proxy as it should.

Does anybody know if proxy server messes with dhcp on win2k, it works fine on nt4 servers.

Perhaps I havent finished setting up dhcp on the server - as all i have done is complete the wizard for adding active directory. Everything looks ok in the dhcp manager, the range is specified and the server is registered.

Any ideas?

First let's check if your DHCP works
Try connecting with a NT4 workstation or Win2K prof. client and see if it gets an IP address
If the server doesn't lease an IP, check if the DHCP server has been authorised (yes you will have to authorise the server before you can use it -> this is different than in NT4)

Let me know if it helps

You will also want to enable dynamic updates.
