Re: win2003 server and dhcp

ya I thought of hard coding the ip's but when I try to join the domain it
says :Error occurred when attempting to join the domain. Network path was not
found. and it is excessible, through current our current workgroup.

2. the main connection comes in then all the pc's are networked by a bunch of
hubs/switches
, how would ya turn off relaying in the 2003 server?.....in services prolly??

3. I would have to talk to them and find out, well the main tech here would
have to talk to them.


any other suggestions would be cool. thanks for the help so far.
