When that happens to me, it's almost always due to a network drive that is no longer accessible. It *could* be related to DNS since a mapped drive will probably depend on the DNS server to resolve a server name...
More often, though, it's due to my mapping to a server/computer/resource that is no longer on line...
I've seen situations where the DNS server specified in the settings for a computer points to external DNS servers. This is a no-no. All DNS servers specified in the TCP/IP settings *MUST* be internal. Any external ones must be specified in the "Forwarders" section in AD.

Copying files takes a lot longer than it used too as well.

Hello Penny,
What kind of problems, be more specific? Access to servers, using mapped drives, copy data etc. Also check that your AntiVirus is not blocking some things, often happen with On access scanning. Check the taskmanager for the service or .exe name which maybe causes high cpu.

Lots of folks have reported performance problems with their PCs. Is
it possible that this change in DHCP might have something to do with
it. Just today on my PC I have noticed considerable slowness on my
own PC. I just defragmented my drive last night, and my machine is
still sluggish. Just doing things local on my machine, for instance
Windows Explorer takes a long time to load.

Hello Penny,
On the DHCP server console check the scope options, here you can
configure the Default gateway, the DNS server and some more settings.

I have it set up and am a little confused on how to identify my
static IP addresses.
I turned a computer on and it obtained the lease, but the default
gateway is wrong, how do I correct this?

Do I have to reset ALL data switches? The other locations have
their own DHCP, this change will effect only the corporate office
and one of the stores, all others are on their own DHCP.

no problem about lease. sut down all the PC's
shut down the sonicwall.reset the data switches (ON-OFF)
installl DHCP, create a scope, configure server options,
(optional
but
recommended)
power on workstations
everything will work.

I'm in a situation where I came on board with this company not
long ago
and
found that they're running DHCP via sonicwall appliance. This
sonicwall
appliance has become unstable.
I have always run DHCP on a DC and am planning on moving it to
the
DC.
Although I've been in systems admin for a while now, I've never
had to
do
anything like this before and wanted to put this out there for
any
advice
I
can get.
I'm assumming all I've got to do is after hours disable the DHCP
on the
sonicwall and install DHCP in add/remove programs windows
components.
I
would then mimic how it is set up on the sonicwall and
everything
should
work
okay from there. I know it's going to disconnect everyone for a
split
second
and there's a chance it might change some IP addresses, but I'm
wondering
what will happen to the current leases?
Unfortunately I don't have an environment I could effectively
test
this
in.
It's what happens to the current leases that's got me a little
concerned.
I
don't think it would work trying to export from the sonicwall to
the
DC,
it's
probably a proprietary format.
Again any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. I
know
there's
a
right way to do this.
