I had a similar problem with my DHCP server a while back. Sometimes we dig too deep to correct the problem. I had simply run out of addresses to give out. DOH!
If you've got a sniffer you can check to see if the DHCP requests and replies are actually getting out on the network.

Perhaps something has been modified via a Group Policy of from a image they were installed from. The DHCP Client server should be running as a system account service (make sure it is running and not disabled). The idea the check your network for router issues or firewalls would be a good idea. If you are running AD don't forget the DHCP server need to be authorized in order for AD clients to obtain leases.

The problem I'm having is the W2K Pro clients cannot obtain a lease from the WNT Server DHCP server, although the WNT 4.0 W/S clients have no problems obtaining or renewing a lease. I've went so far as to install a W2K Server DHCP server on the LAN, but I have the same problem with the W2K Pro clients. I haven't had any luck in researching this on TechNet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
