Re: Win2003 DHCP

How are these subnets linked together? DHCP requests are broadcasts. You
can usually configure your routers to relay these requests so that they can
reach a DHCP server on a different segment. The address of the router
interface which received the original broadcast determines which scope is
used. For example if the machine broadcasts a request and that request is
received on interface 192.168.0.x of the router, the machine will receive an
offer of 192.168.0.n .

Unfortunately that is the thing. The only way the these "networks"
are differentiated is by location and statically assigne IP
addresses. There are no DC's for the other three networks. I know
it is screwed up, but that unfortunatley is what I have inherited.

the DHCP server will see from what network the request is coming
(from a special field in the DHCP request) and will give the IP
address according to that.

I have taken over a mess at my new job and I aslowly trying to work
my way through the carp to get to a better solution. I have just
set up a new DHCP
server, but the thing is now, this one DHCP server has to assing IP
address
to 4 networks.

192.168.0.
192.168.2.
192.168.3.
192.168.4.

each with its own gateway

Setting up the scopes and all that is done, but now how do I ensure
that each PC get that IP address that it is supposed to. I am
assuming that I am
supposed to use a class, but how do I assing a class to a scope,
and when I
create a use defined class, what BINARY and ACSI value should I use.

Thanx
