I have a SBS2K server running DHCP, We just connected a
LightPointe Laser fiber connection between two switches,
one connnected to our server and one in a new warehouse
1/2 mile away. The fiber connection goes between the
switches. With the server connected to one switch, when I
connected a notebook with WinXP to the switch in the
other building and tried to get ip authorization from
dhcp I was given an ip address not in the range that I
have set up on the SBS2K server. I have the Server set
to use 192.168.16.1 to 254 for server assigned ip
addresses. The WinXP is getting assigned 169.254.102.30
with a subnet of 255.255.0.0 Does anyone know why and
how to resolve the problem. Thanks for any help I am
supposed to have 4 new workstations on line by 5:00pm
tonight. Exploreman explore@removethis@man@hotmail.com
