Dynamic and Static IP

J

Johnny

I was wondering if you can have dynamic and static IP addresses on the same
network. The network will include PCs with Win98, W2K, and XP operating
systems. So far I was able to set up a network with Static IP addresses but
was not able to bring in a PC with a Dynamic IP address. The only time I was
able to use a Dynamic IP address was with a XP machine. The PC was set with
a Dynamic IP and I would also have to use the Aleternative Configuration
which was set with a static IP address.

Thanks,

J

Dynamic is much easier as it also provides the WINS and DNS for your
workstations. Workstations needs to be set to obtain IP automatically and
DNS also.

Do you have a W2000-server? Is WINS installed (W9x need it)? Is DNS
installed? How many nics in the server and how are they setup (IP's)?
