Just recently started having a very odd issue with our DHCP server.
Background:
SBS2003 running everything (exchange, DNS, DHCP, etc)
2 NIC: one on our local network and one on a public IP for Exchange
our IP scheme locally is 192.168.44.x
I had trouble with a laptop getting a DHCP assigned address last week and
low and behold, the DHCP service was not running on the server. i tried to
start it, but got an error about it can't start (nothing too descript).
after trying a variety of things, I diabled the NIC on the building's
network (the one with our public IP not our local internal network) and was
finally able to start the DHCP service. I then reenabled the NIC
A few hours later, happened again. Diabled the NIC, start service, reenabled
the NIC
I found the following error in the logs:
Event Type: Error

Description:
The DHCP/BINL service on this computer running Windows Server 2003 for Small
Business Server has encountered another server on this network with IP
Address, 192.1.2.1, belonging to the domain: .

Data:
0000: 00 00 00 00 ....
The IP in the error (192.1.2.1) is NOT assigned to this server (either NIC).
It's the IP address of another DHCP server the building uses. It's not even
on the same segement or subnet, yet it seems to be killing my server! The
building manager has even tried changing IP addresses of that server (it used
to be .2.1 and that was showing in the error log the same way)
I'm lost with some questions on where to go next.
The NIC on the building network has a static IP and none of the other stuff
checked (client for MS networks, load balancing, or file/print sharing).
In the advanced tab, DNS is set with our public .com domain name as the
suffix, and the boxes for register this connection in DNS and use the DNS
suffix in registration are both checked.
DHCP client service is running on this server, but I don't know why or if it
needs to be. Both NICs have static IP's. I've tried to diable the DHCP
client, but it seems to restart itself. Do I need it running and if not, how
can i KEEP it from restarting (setting it to disabled doesn't seem to do it).
Also, other log errors that may be of interest:

Thanks to anyone with some advice! I tired of babysitting the services!
