DHCP Problems
Debbie Westall
Greetings,
I have a client that had an illegal IP address configured on
their DHCP server. This ran fine. Then they wanted Internet
access so they had to configure a legal IP address. Now the
DHCP server is acting strangely.
Initially when they log in, they are assigned an address, no
problem. Then if they go into Netscape or something else,
it does not work.
When they reconfigured the DHCP for the new address they left
the old scope in there. Does that need to be deleted??
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Please mail replies to me:

Remove the old scope and, to be same, run "ipconfig /release" from a
DOS window at each client machine. That will force the client to ask
the DHCP server for a new address.

address (which is what it sounds like). The DHCP server is
probably picking the first one it comes across, and is possibly
oldest to newest - Which would give the problem. To confirm, get
them to find out the IP address that they get given. It is
probably still using / getting the old one.

Shouldn't that be 'ipconfig /renew'?
On a 95 system use winipcfg, select the proper adapter, and press the
Renew button.
The other option is to reboot the systems, of course. :-)
BTW, you should be able to disable the scope, if you don't want delete
it for some reason.

Yes, it should! Sorry 'bout that. We'd certainly want to rebind the
MAC-to-IP address instead of disabling IP!

I have a pentium-100 PC. I had did partition my harddrive to two parts. One
is for Dos and one for installing NT3.51.
First time, I installed my NT 3.51 as Fat. Everything worked fine. Than, I
want to try NTFS. I did Re-Installation. After It format the partition with
NTFS, It asked me to reboot the machine. At this time , the system didn't
boot. (No dos, No NT setup). It hung at this point :
"IRQ used:
100MHZ CPU clock
256 kb (pipelined Burst) cache memory "
If you can, please give some advice.
Thanks

Sound like your boot.ini got corrupted upon re-installation. NTFS wouldn't
have anything to do with you re-boot. Your best bet is to boot using you
startup disks and choose the repair option. If that doesn't work, boot with
a Dos disk and fdisk the drive and start all over.
Good luck!
