Hello Again! Happy Holidays Everyone,

I am sure if this is the correct section to post this question in...if not
please point me the right way and I will repost. :-)

I am working to build a home network for myself, and just got Windows 2003
Standard server loaded. I have assigned the server to Domain Controller roll
and has Active Directory setup. I statically assigned the server to static
IP address 192.168.1.165, which is outside of the Linksys Router DHCP address
assignment range between 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150

I have also created my user name account in Active Directory Users and
Computers so that I can aunthenticate my login. So far I have only join my
laptop to this domain and is testing out networking functionallity and ran
into this problem.

The problem is that after joining my XP Pro SP2 laptop to the
home.thehood.com domain, I can not successfully complete the logon to the new
domain. Further investigation, I notice a few errors and information that
seem to be pointing to DHCP scope possibly on the server's configuration end.
 The logon attempt just sit at the windows "configuring computer
environment". On the laptop I notice the following error in the Event Logs

The DHCP allocator has disabled itself on IP address 192.168.1.101, since
the IP address is outside the 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 scope from which
addresses are being allocated to DHCP clients. To enable the DHCP allocator
on this IP address, please change the scope to include the IP address, or
change the IP address to fall within the scope.

>From the server when I try pinging the laptop computer name "MONKEY" I get
the following IP address replies: 216.138.240.196

I am clueless to which approach to start tourbleshooting the problem at this
point. Hope that someone can point me the right direction. The technical
details are provided below.
