Raven,
Thanks for your reply. I should have been more percise in my description.
What we have today is a dhcpd.conf file with every a host statement for NIC
address in the building (Except for static IP address servers).
I've added a pool for dynamic allocation to the configuration, and the
server is issuing addresses to NICs not listed in the host statements.
The problem is that I want to move everyone from static host statements
to allowing the server to hand out addresses from a pool. To test this,
I put a # as the first character of the host statement for my W95 PC.
Then I started winipcfg and did a release / renew. The server log files
show a dhcpdiscover, dhcpoffer, dhcprequest, and dhcpack for my PC but
winipcfg reported an error and left me without an IP address and without
any IP information.
My plan was to comment out a number of host statements that correspond
to the PCs of the IT department folks to perform my due dillagence testing
and watch the effect it had on these users when they came in Monday morning.
However, I'm unable to do this as I can't get a dynamic IP address.
- Don

I don't understand what you mean by commenting out the line, commenting
out from what? Your dhcpd.conf file? something in 95 itself?

What are the system parameter the DHCP server is running on? platform, OS,
RAM, etc.
