DHCP

[Guest]

We have an office in Maryland and Florida. The Maryland office has a windows
2000 server with active directory. It's also running DHCP. The Florida office
only has Windows xp computers with no server. We are going to create a vpn
between the offices. We were going to setup a dhcp scope on the maryland
server for Florida. Once the vpn is up, how will the florida office
computers know to grab the ip address from the maryland dhcp server accross
the vpn? Is this the correct way to obtain ip's. Thanks.

You need to configure the Florida office router with the IP address of the
MaryLand DHCP server. The WinXP clients in florida office will automatically
get the IP address from the Maryland server through this router.
