DHCP problem

[Rahul Khandelwal]

I am using 5 Windows XP nodes on SBS 2000 server. From yesterday afternoon,
two of my nodes are not connecting to the network using DHCP. Manual
configuration also does not show the computers on the network. I tried
enabling DHCP after manual configuration but some funny IP address is shown
for the network cards.

These computers were working perfectly fine till morning.

I am posting this from my home computer and hence shall appreciate if a
reply is mailed to me at (e-mail address removed) till my network becomes
functional.

Thanking you in advance,

Rajiv Khandelwal

Sounds like the DHCP server has stopped. Have you check the event log
and the services to see their status?

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I have seen the services and the event log. The DHCP services are
running.

Sometimes the firewall client gets wacked. Install it again.
