Re: DHCP server RAS problems


Lol, you dont have Remote Access Server but you have RAS... Something
looks wrong with that.

So the Remote clients are taking an already taken IP then? Sounds
pretty straightforward, you have either not told the Remote clients to
get an IP from your LAN DHCP server, or you have created a pool of IP's
that your DHCP server is using already.
