Re: DHCP issues

Al,

As I pointed out in my earlier post, 169.254.x.x addresses are used by
Windows as a default when the computer doesn't get a valid address from the
DHCP.

Having now tried to VPN into teh SBS network, I find this works fine but
that the the VPN server (I assume this is part of ISA) is giving out
169.254.x.x. range IP's - the Network connection on the client VPN'ing in
is reporting that the Server address is 169.254.88.91 & that it has a
Client Address of 169.254.5.234
Does this in some way relate to the issue? Previously the VPN addresses
were definitely on the 10.0.0.x subnet.
Thanks

That together with printers and routers I include as reservations within
the scope.

Scope should be 10.0.0.1 > 10.0.0.254
( .255 like .0 is reserved )
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Surely you must keep at least one fixed IP for the server? If scope
includes x.x.x.1 all the way to .x.x.x.254, what's the DHCP server
using?
Just a thought...
