Did you add any new switches in the building? Aside from the wireless any new anything?
Charles Kinsella Technology Director Dixon Public Schools ckinse...@dixonschools.org (815) 284-7725 Maybe I am not being clear. The DHCP server is not dishing out ANY addresses to ANY device that is contacting it. I tried a few IPods and a few workstations and when I set them to automatic discover / DHCP - they try for a while and then fail. The PC boxes tell me I have a limited connection and when I check the IP "assigned" to the box it is a 169.X.X.X address which is not really an assigned address - but what a windows box will plug in if the DHCP process fails. Now the weird parts - This was all working fine before late Thursday / Friday AM - From what I can tell the DHCP server IS up and running - When I use the Microsoft Rogue DHCP tool to see if there is more than one DHCP server on the network it sees the one DHCP server (The IPCop box) AND it reports a valid IP that the DHCP server would be handing out - When I down the DHCP server and run the Rogue DHCP server tool I see NO DHCP servers on the network. So - the DHCP is there, it is running, it is handing out IP's to the Rogue DHCP server tool BUT No device / PC etc. is successful in communicating with the DHCP server and assigning an IP that the server is providing. Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
