Some things to check for:
Make sure your DHCP server is authorized in AD.
Can a windows client get a DHCP IP address from the same location you are
trying use RIS from?
Try having the server and the client on the same subnet or if you can put
them on the same hub/switch.

| We are trying to setup RIS on our network. We have it all
| setup and ready to go, but when we use the bootdisk in a
| client computer it gets stuck on trying to contact DHCP.
|
| Any tips and help would be appreciated.
