RE: SP1 7 DHCP Challenges?



THANKYOU so much Brandy for your time in helping with this. Here are the
answers to your questions.

As the day has worn on we have also had several printers which people had
turned off lose their IP addresses, their configs say "BOOTP/DHCP in
progress" but they never gain an IP.

If I run ipconfig /release and then try to /renew on one of the 'working'
workstations, it also loses its IP (obviously) but cannot gain a new one. If
I take off the static IP from the workstations which will not acquire IP's
(and then reboot), they gain an incorrect IP (out of my range, as below in
the ipconfig /all paste I have done)

Windows IP Configuration

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-11-43-01-57-7A
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

(the default gateway is empty, I have not cut off the text)

Our internal IP range is 192.168.10.xx so that IP is very strange.

> 3. What is your Network Topology? For example:

Internet - Router - NIC1 - SBS 2K3 - NIC1 - Internal Clients (does not have
2 NICS)

The workstations can only log on 'locally' (not to the domain), and then
have no access to any network resources (email, shared folders and printers
are really the only resources they would use)

> 5. Also, please explain in detail "I installed Windows Server 2003 SP1,

Exchange has SP1, I installed the SharePoint SP1 at the same time as the
update for SBS, and the clients do not have SP2 installed as yet because of a
conflict with our accounting package.

The update completed successfully and I downloaded the service packs from
Microsoft, also I read very carefully the wonderful SmallBizServer.net
article on installing the service pack and followed the
suggestions/instructions there.


Thank you again for your help, I really appreciate it. After what happened
when I /released and then /renewed, I am very concerned that as the DHCP
leases gradually expire over the next few days they will not be renewed.

Thanks again


Kelly
