DHCP Client fails to obtain address

[GerryG]

I have a SBS2000 network running. All of the Windows 2000
and Windows 98 clients successfully obtain addresses and
renew properly. A Windows XP laptop which is used both
here and on another network has stopped obtaining
addresses from the server but will connect if configure
with a static IP address. The same machine successfully
obtains an address when on the other network (also
SBS2000). We are attempting to add a new Windows SP
Workstation on the network and it is also failing to
obtain an address. The DHCP client is started on the
client machines and the DHCP Server service is running on
the server.


Any ideas?

Is your DHCP scope full? (All IP addresses in use?)

Restart your DHCP server and client services, see if that helps.

Yeah I was going to suggest checking your DHCP range,
maybe make it a little wider?
What happens when you do ipconfig /release and /renew?
