Comment: Hello there guys, i just finished installing my Win2k Server and has activated Active Directory and DHCP Server the thing is. i set my IP scope from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10 So, i setup a Windows Account in the active directory for a user to test out. After the workstation successfully logged in, i do ipconfig /all to it (assuming its using Win2k Pro). When i look at the IP, it does not reflect to the one i set the scope for... am i doing something wrong here? Also, when i look at the Server's ip it starts with something like 169.58. bla bla bla... but i wanted it to have ip address of 192.168.1.1 (for example that is). WHere did i do wrong? please help... and thanx network newbie.

Reply: (edit)The address you are seeing is probably 169.254.x.x right? This is Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). It means the client is not reaching the DHCP server for an address so it is assigning itself an IP. I would check your cabling, and that sort of thing to see if you really are making the connection. The problem is not with your DHCP server necessarily, it is a problem of the client not reaching the server or the service not runnning or something like that.

Reply: (edit)hiay there glen said your clients are not connecting to the server which is correct but you need to assign a static ip address to your server so set the scope from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.10 and set your server ip address as 192.168.1.1. you cannot assign yourself an address from dhcp server for the server. the clients will then have an address let me know how you get on if you are unsure how to assign static ip let me know yeah hope this helps
