Re: Computer not getting ip address from DHCP server

Dusty Harper {MS}

Does your DHCP server have enough addresses to hand out?

You need to sniff the network. Verify that the DHCP Server is receiving its
packets, and also verify the client is receiving its. DHCP packets should
be in the following order

Discover
Offer
Request
ACK

It is possible the server is sending a NAK for some reason.

Thanks for the advice Dusty.

In the end I swapped the PCI NIC with an ISA NIC. The win2000 client
was than able to get an IP address. Why this worked I do not know but
it did :blush:)
