Sorry for the delay in my reply, Comcast has been having problems with our email...
In regards to the dhcp, we've checked all the usual problem areas, but can find no obvious "mess ups". This all started about three weeks ago, prior to that the dhcp has worked fine from the beginning (a couple/few years). We can think of nothing we have done recently that would be a cause. Could a "bad" switch or hub cause this issue. I don't mean a "router". We have 4 of 5 of them throughout the buildings, and I was wondering if one went "bad" would that be enough to screw up dhcp????? James E Harvey Hanover Shoe Farms, Inc.

Two things: 1. Make sure you have enough free addresses in your DHCP pool. 2. Make sure any static address is excluded from the pool (ie. was a printer or other piece of equipment added lately?). JimD -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James E Harvey Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 11:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [NF] Problematic DHCP The last couple of weeks our users have been having issues getting logged on to our domain due to IP address not being assigned properly (169 rather than a 192) The system event log shows the following error message with an Event ID of 1002: "The IP address lease %1 for the network adapter with MAC address %2 has been denied by the DHCP server %3 (The DHCP server sent a DHCPNACK message)." We thought it was a rogue router with DHCP turned on but it turns out that wasn't the case. If we do the "repair" through the GUI, or ipconfig /release&renew at the command prompt we can usually get the user a valid IP address and they're good to go, until the next time they need to log on. We can't see where anything on the DHCP server that appears obviously out of norm... Any thoughts would be appreciated. TIA James E Harvey Hanover Shoe Farms, Inc.
