DHCP Superscope

[speed3]

Currently having problems with dhcp server, I have over a 800 conections and had to etend the range I did this by adding a superscope.
Problem being that on the new range netpc's based on a cut down version of NT do not see the network correctly but if I add the ip manually it does ( I think the dhcp server is not passing out the default gateway?) But all pc client work fine

It may be you are not handing out the options. Normally you hand them out in scope options. When you created the superscope, you also created a second scope to be included in the superscope. How are the ip addresses handed out in this second scope getting the options? Did you define the options for this second scope?

You said you are using a default gateway. Does this router have a static entry to route to the new ip range?

i think i have worked out what it is the second scope does not no what the gateway is because it is not included in its range. so what i'm currently doing is creating a temp dhcp box, creating a new scope with the full range, disable the old scope let the address move over to the temp server then delete the old scope on the production server then migrate the new range back using dhcpexim.exe.

the only problem with this is that i have a load of reservations that need to recreated unless anyone knows away of just moving them
