DHCP Assignment

[computerMe]

Hi, I have 2 DCs handled with Win2k3...

I have a workstation that a member with DC1 that will grab an IP address from other DC2 DHCP. I have no problem with the configuration with the DNS' and DHCP's they are working fine and no errors found in the event viewer..

How can I force the workstation to get an IP address from that DC? I tried to reset the ip address using the ipconfig /release /renew /registerdns and others commands but still no effect.

Any help from anybody is very much appreciated.. thanks

As long as the client can see the machine, it will get an address from it.

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!

eventhough that the client is not a member with that domain?

 

[monsterjta]

yes. DHCP doesn't make use of domains.

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!

In the properties for the clients TCP/IP on the NIC, make sure it's set to Obtain an IP address automatically.
