Superscope problems

Guest

I have a Windows 2000 Server in which I run DHCP. I recently configured a
superscope, as I have created a 2nd vlan on my network.
The 2 scopes in the superscope are as follows:
Scope 1 / VLAN 1= 192.168.1.0 network
Scope 2 / VLAN 2= 192.168.5.0 network

When I switch a user from the legacy network to VLAN2, and tell it to draw a
dynamic address, it is still pulling from the former VLAN 1 address pool.
The only way I can get around this at this point is to create a client
reservation in the new VLAN2. Effectively at that point I can draw the
reservation address in VLAN 2.

Obviosly I have dhcp forwarding enabled on the router that routes between
the VLANs.

I am unclear at this point why the server hands out addresses for VLAN1 when
the client is in VLAN2

No superscopes! that is not what they are for.

Use a separate, distinct, "normal" scopes for each network. Move those
scopes out of the superscope and eliminate the superscope. As long as your
router is properly relaying the DHCP Queries, everything will be happy and
fine.
