No DHCP Offers on Wire

[dirtyBit]

Hi,

My DHCP server (Win2003) has stopped handing out addresses. Basically when
using a packet sniffer, I can see only Discover packets on the wire but no
Offers. The strange thing is that when I look at statistics on the dhcp mmc
it states that offers are being sent. So DHCP "thinks" it's working but
there is nothing on the wire. Anyone have any clues. Thanks.

See my response in windows server.networking group. Try to crosspost next
time, not multipost. Crossposting allows responses to go to all groups
simulataneously. It will be easier on you, and us so we can colloborate
using a common, virtual thread, otherwise one reading one group will not see
the other responses and may wind up unecessarily repeating our efforts.
