cannot get ip address with dhcp enabled

[dhope]

| just set up a small network 1 server with 2000 server and 5 win98 workstation. Here is the problem, 4 of the five workstations get out to the internet and 1 doesn't.

there is a dsl router and a hub involved and I have not done anything to those as of yet. The router is set to dhcp, and the workstations are set to dhcp. I have get a ip address but it is not anything like the ones the others are getting. At first i thought it was a bad nic so I changed that out, but I still get a ip address different from all the others.

I put that one workstation on another network and it was able to get out to the internet with no problems. That tells me it is with the serve, i think. But why are all the others working and this one isn't.

Do I need to do anything on the server in reguards to setup dhcp. I wouln't think I would sense all computers are getting their ip address from the dsl router.

I disabled dhcp on the server so that it would not give out any ip address, I think. Anyway I went into services and set dhcp to manual.

Thanks

Hi

I had a few problems with DHCP and DSL.
I uninstalled DHCP from the server and set the router as a DHCP server (You need to exclude 2 addresses from your pool, 1 for the ethernet interface of the router, and 1 for the DNS server).
I suspect that the server is supplying your out-of-range address and this is interfering.
I hope this helps.
