Hi,

I installed win2k advanced server on a compaq proliant 2500
but i cant seem to make it contact my isp's dhcp server or connect to any other computers on the network

my other computers can all contact my isp's dhcp server so thats not the problem

network connection status shows that only packets are send but none are received

im really lost here, installed all the protocols just to make sure (tcp/ip, ipx, netbios, netbeui) tried various settings in the hardware configuration utility 802.2, 802.3, ethernet II, ethernet snap but none seem to work

even tried a 3com NIC instead of the onboard nic but the problem stays the same

when i manualy entered an ip and subnet in the hardware configuration utility just to see if i could atleast get it to connect to another pc but then my other computers show up over the network but i cant access them and on the other computers the win2k machine doesent even show up, i cant even ping it

what settings do i use to make it contact the dhcp server?

_____ pc1 win xp home
|_____ pc2 win xp pro
Modem----hub-|_____ pc2 win me
|_____ pc4 win 2k AS

this is my current network setup i have 4 dynamic ip's and only 3 in use all i want is for the win2k machine to take the 4th
