When you say WINS settings, do you mean in the snap-in when you look at the server it has "SERVERNAME [ipaddress]" is it the bit in the square brackets that is wrong? If this is the case I would say its definetly something to do with multiple adapters or IPs....

Thats a little clearer. Not sure where that address is coming from though, I presume that this is only WINS doing that and the server itself is fine (correct IP and everything)? This isnt a multiple adapter machine or got multiple addresses assigned to the one adapter?

Yeah I suppose your right about the hacker thing. I will be interested to find out the fix on this one...

"Could" be a tricky hacker or someone trying to hack, they could be spoofing the IP address too...... Strange its every 15 minutes, sounds like a service polling for something.... I think Im as confused as you are!

Hmm, not sure, depends on what the firewall all did. I would unconfigure all of the ICS then re-configure it all. Hope you get it sorted!

Comes down to ICS being CRAP. I have had MAJOR issues on Windows XP with it so I doubt Windows 2000 is problem free in this area. Try to do what you want another way, hardware router or firewall or something. Upgrading the machines to XP might do something too... oh and have you tried SP4? ;D

Check your event logs and everything else. Make sure the DNS appears to be configured correctly on the DC, if the AD is not available you can bet your @rse its DNS related! I hope you have more than one DC! If you see something in the event logs, run it by www.eventid.net and see which...

That address is auto generated by the Operating System because no address was avaible at some point. Client will give themselves addresses like this if the DHCP is down. Something like that....

You'll have to give us more information.... not sure what you are meaning.

Im making a guess but I think the program is trying to modify the registry on the local machine when it runs. If you make the local user an administrator and it works this will prove it. Otherwise youll have to run all sorts of different tests to try and nail the problem down. Good place to...

cos they've got "stupid users syndrome" ! :-)

We have 40 DCs. Some with DHCP installed. One site has 2 x DCs and they both have DHCP installed - no problems. That specific site has some on-site staff that want to change the DHCP settings themselves (for reservations etc) - here goes - how do I delegate them permissions to control ONLY...

DNS!!!! We get this when the clients dont have the correct DNS servers entered and they have to use WINS. Takes ages.

Sounds good!

I'm sure the official line is "no you cant" but I did see a tool on the MS site titled "Domain rename tool" on the Windows 2000 server page. Cant find it now though, strange. You have to options if this one isnt possible. 1. Install another server and install another...

Cheers Bob, it makes me feel a little better just having a re-assuring word from someone. We've since figured out that the Cisco kit will mostly send requests to the first server, funnily enough it looks to be around 70% goes to it so we could be in luck. Thanks again. Colin Scott...

Why does Microsoft tell you to configure a 30/70 split when running DHCP on two different DHCP servers? Wouldnt this mean you would hit problems when the "70%" server falls over? Surely a more logical route would be to make sure you have twice the addresses available than required...

This isnt going to help you this time but you have learned not to remove the old system from site until the new system is working!

I have a Windows 2000 domain. I have read all the MS docs about replication conflicts and how they are resolved. This is all fine. Except that when AD resolves a conflict it leaves the conflicted object lying in the domain. I use NETPRO's Excellent Directory Analyser to inform us of these...

Apon trying your list of things above, we noticed that the address was actually Reserved to another (unauthorised) client. We're sure that the address was not there before. Hmm I sense a "too many cooks" problem!! Thanks for you help! Colin.
