DHCP RESERVATION

[Guest]

I have a Windows 2000 Server setup in AD and using DHCP for handing out some
of my addresses. I am having problems when I try to Reserve and address.
For example I added a Windows XP Laptop today and when booting it picked up
an IP address with no problem out of my general scope. But when I set up a
reservation for this laptop using its MAC address about 90% of the time the
XP system says that "Access is denied" when it tries to renew it IP address.
Instead it just
assigns 0.0.0.0 for its IP address. Maybe another DHCP is on the network
that I'm not aware of. Is there any way to tell where the Laptop is trying
to retrieve an address from? Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Scotty

You could check the DHCP server logs to see if you find any evidences
of attempted offer. They should be in c:\winnt\system32\DHCP\Logs I
think.
