RE: SP1 7 DHCP Challenges?

Hi Brandy

Here is the ipconfig /all from the server itself, that previous one was from
a workstation

Windows IP Configuration
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : gml-sbs
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : GML.local
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes
DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : GML.local
Ethernet adapter Server Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Network Connection
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-04-23-88-B7-5F
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.10
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.10
Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.10

I have also realised I cannot ping the server from any workstation (even
those with current DHCP leases). Workstations can ping each other.

The default gateway is the router's address, and the DNS settings are correct.

Any other suggestions? From what I can find online it looks like the SBS
firewall is on, but its definitely not. What else should I check for?

Thank you again for your help.
