RE: DHCP Error's every hour? Looks serious!

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi there

Problem resolved thanks.

Preparation: I exported each list in the DHCP console to a notepad file for
reference when re-building the DHCP!! Important!
1. I un-installed DHCP
2. Deleted the Config Files From the "Windows/System32/DHCP" folder
3. Installed DHCP again, including configuring the scope, exclusions and
reservations.
4. Run the Internet/E-mail Connection Wizards again (changed nothing just
clicked straight through).
5. Run the Remote Access Wizard to restore the VPN reservations in DHCP.

I did notice that after running this, only 5 able connections would show in
the reservations box for VPN clients. It had more before, it was missing the
L2TP reservations.

So i did the following (for future reference): -

1. Opened Routing and Remote Access
2. Right clicked Ports and chose properties from the drop down.
3. Selected the "WAN Miniport (L2TP) connection and clicked the "Configure"
button.
4. Chose the top two tick boxes (Inbound) and (Inbound and Outbound)
5. Insured the maximum ports figure was set to 5 as per default.

All now working fine!

| Hi all,
|
| Thanks for the replies so far!
|
| I have tried the following already...
|
| i) Disabling Indexing on the folder.
| ii)I have no anti-virus on there as its a new server being built to
replace
| the existing.
|
| So i will proceed to try the clean boot, and if that doesn't work out i
will
| post the report from the utility for you to analyse.
|
| Thanks for the help so far!! Really appreciated.
