Im having a bit of an issue. At work when I am configing machines (mostly NT 4.0 SP6) I frequently lose the ability to contact the DHCP server. After several hours everything is fine again, but if Im doing different machines it eventually happens again. The last time I had joined 8 windows 2000 new machines to the domain. I took a break, returned and hooked up two more and could not hit DHCP.
By the time I can get one of the Network team there..the issue is corrected and gets written off as user error. Im certainly not a genious but its not user error when nothing has changed...or gets changed and suddenly Im back on.
Now for the real kicker. My PC that is on the same switch..never has an issue. Even when the others fail out. It stays on and I can release/renew and never miss a beat.
Anyone got any good ideas...Im thinking somehow Im tripping a setting by the configs and being locked out.
Thanks for any ideas!! PeTEK91
