DHCP on win 2003 server (internal ip's)

[rakone]

Here's my questions.
1. I am setting a small lan on win 2003 server and dhcp services all internal ip's the servers ip is 192.168.0.1. The scope of address starts at 192.168.0.3. to 192.168.254
The problem is everytime i long on the first client they get the ip adress of 192.168.0.10 i was wondering why it it gave 192.168.0.10 and not 192.168.03 since it was the start of the scope. (I heard that the fist 9 ip are held for servers is this true).

2. Also does the dhcp give out ip in random order or in numberic order has users log in (I mean for the first time before any users obtains a lease)

3. If anyone has a good link to more info on interal ip's & dhcp i would apprecate it.

Thanks

Haven't used DHCP yet in 2000 or 2003 but as far as I know you have to set and exclusion list for your static IP's (servers and printers).

So if you were using 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.10 for servers you would configure that as exclusion from your scope of 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.100 for example. So set up the scope first and then the exclusion next. Then stations when they log on should receive the ip for 192.168.0.11 on up.

I didn't set any exclusions but it still starts with ip 192.168.0.10 when the scope starts at 192.168.0.3.
