IP Addresses are being dished out. 1

[Zamuk]

new SBS2011 environment. Been working great since August '11
Critical updates are constantly being observed.

3 Weeks ago DHCP stopped handing out IP Addresses. Or at least that is when client computers were unable to attain an IP address from the server. The DHCP service is up and running and I see nothing amiss in the Event Logs.

My temporary solution was to statically assign IP, sub, DNS, etc. to each of the client computers and they are all working fine now.

I'd really like to get back to have my SBS'12 managing the allocation of IPs.

Any thoughts?

You tried restarting the DHCP service, right? When you went into the DHCP Admin console, did the scope show green or red?

DHCP Server, then the entire server was rebooted. DCHP Admin console shows IP4 & IP6 with a green checkmark.

also, nothing shows in the Event Logs either.

Anything else I should check?

I also see that my Address Lease field is blank, thouh I have over 200 IPs available for distribution.

My Scope:
192.168.0.1 to .254
Excluded: .1 to .10
Excluded: .90 to .99
Excluded: .212 to .213
Excluded: .220 to .254 (which is what I created to hardcode these IP addresses to the computers, which were not getting an IP address from DCHP)
