Win 2000 server and dsl router

[Guest]

I have two networks on different sites, almost identical running 2000 server on a dedicated machine with about 10 client PCs running a mixture of NT, 2000 and XP. With internet access via a isdn router

I need to upgrade the router and access to ADSL, but when I connect the new DSL router to the network (having removed the ISDN router) the windows 2000 and XP machine take in excess of 15 mins to boot

Without the server the PCs boot fine and access the ADSL line as normal. The problem occurs only when the server is connected.

The DHCP is set on the router and disabled from the server as with the ISDN set up. I have tried two different types of router, both give exactly the same result. The servers are basic installation of server 2000 with nothing added

Well I would first check your DHCP scope and Server IP ( I assume the server
has a Static IP). Are they in the same subnet? Like, if your DHCP is giving
the clients IPs such as 10.10.10.X and your server is using 198.168.0.X Then
the two are on different subnets and won't be able to find each other.
From a DOS prompt type "ipconfig /all", first on server then on one of the
clients. Are they both using the same IP range and subnet mask?

But it is best to share it with the group.
