I have a strange problem with DHCP running out of addresses.

I set up a scope of 192.168.10.10 through 192.168.10.90.

Dhcp will hand out (for example), 192.168.10.10, 11, 24, 28 31,90 - and then
I get the error message that says there are 0 addresses left.

The number will vary, but it will always fail.

Everything seems to be set up right - but I guess I am missing something
rudimentary.

Any help ?

TIA

Perhaps this information will help you. Why not just expand the range of IP
addresses to be assigned? Out to 255, for example?

Perhaps a read through this information will help:

Thanks for your reply

The issue is that I have assigned 81 addresses and it says it is "empty"
after assigning 5. Where are these other addresses going ? (They do not
respond to "ping")

I don't see how increasing the scope will help (?)
