Re: How do I enable dynamic ip address release?

Hello Ivan,

I would delete the existing scope and create a new one from scratch. Also check on the switch where all machines are connected if that is manageble and if some special settings configured.

Best regards

Hello Ivan,

Did you use the wizard(if exist) from SBS to configure the DHCP
server or did it by hand?

Hello Ivan,

What do you mean with enable dynamic allocation? If the client
machines use DHCP and no fixed addresses and the server is
authorized and the scope is activated the clients will start a
broadcast for the ip address.

Hello Ivan,

Is the server domain controller or member of a domain?

Is the server authorized in the domain?

Is the server from MS or another vendor?

Are the clients behind a rotuer?

Ivan,
I assume you are talking about a Windows server with a DHCP
service?
If all the available addresses have been reserved you will need
to
un-reserve them or add more addresses.
If you open the DHCP console and go to your scope, how big is
the
address
pool and how many reservations do you have?

Hi,

I currently have a dhcp server which requires each computer in
the
network to have its IP address reserved, instead of
dynamically
assigning IP addresses.
I'm not so sure on how to turn this off though, so that
whenever
anyone plugs into my network they automatically get an IP
address,
instead of me needing to reserve it by its mac address.
Thanks!- Hide quoted text -

Hi,

If I un-reserve the addresses (ie, delete the reservation from
DHCP),
dhcp won't allocate IP addresses by default.
This is what I'm trying to achieve.
The only way for computers plugged into the network to get an IP
address is by reserving them.- Hide quoted text -

Hi,
The server is the domain controller.
It is authorized and is a Microsoft 2003 sbs.
The clients aren't behind a router -- they're all within the
network.
I think my question is more toward the lines of what Meinoff
suggested: How do I enable dhcp dynamic allocation?- Hide quoted

hhm.. see, that's where the problem might be.
The client machine uses DHCP. The address is being obtained
automatically.
However, on the server side, unless the MAC address has been
reserved,
the IP address will not be released.
And this is what I'm trying to revert.
I want it so that anyone connecting, whether their MAC has been
reserved or not, will get an IP address.- Hide quoted text -

Hi,
I didn't configure DHCP -- I only recently took over the network.
