I want to setup my Win2k Server as a DHCP server. My current LAN consists of 3 computers all having static IP's, including my 2000 server. The other two computers are running WinXP. What I've done so far is put a second network card in my 2000 server for the DHCP server. I have given it the "new" network IP address, subnet mask etc. When I go through the install process of the DHCP server it automatically keeps picking the IP address of my other card. Then when I authorize the DHCP server and boot up my linux box it is trying to login to the other network. Which apparently there's a DHCP server out there for it to connect to if I knew the password. In any case, how do I get the DHCP server to use the other network card? Am I going about this correctly or am I "smoking crack?" In case I haven't explained my situation very well let me add the following. I have one network with static IP's of 208.16.141-143 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.128. Now I want to setup another card on my 2000 server with a private network of like 10.0.95.1-6 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248. How do configure my server to allow for this to happen? I apologize for my lack of knowledge and hope that you can understand what I am asking. If there's a site that has all of this information on it I'm not afraid of reading to find out for myself, I just haven't found it yet. Thanks to anyone who may be able to get me pointed in the right direction.

this might help not sure That one is a bit tricky, because I've never had machines with two NICs in them (God bless the router). My bet would be editing '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0' as 'root' and setting the BOOTPROTO option to 'dhcp'. Also make sure that ONBOOT is set to 'yes'. If you need to set different options for each interface, however, you should install the 'dhcp-client' package instead of the standard 'dhcpcd'.
