I don't know if this is the prober place to place this but here goes.

Our school has two different networks. The backbone of the school runs
on a mix of servers that are win200 and NT, and their workstations are
also a mix of everything you can think of. Our Departmental Network
(Business and Computer information) runs a netware network and serves
about 1 third of the student population. We have a Netware 6 server
running zen works. and we only have XP workstations.

Recently the College Network Administrator has ran into a problem saying
that our server is trying to take over as DHCP server for the 98 machines.

On his server the event viewer shows this

Warning! source: MrxSMD Event: 8006
*The browser has received an illegal datagram from the remote computer
*bciserver_W to name NWACC on transport NetBT_TCPIP {87700437-77. The
*data is the datagram.

He claims the our server is interfering with wins and the 98 machines are
trying to use our server as the DHCP brouser.

Please can anyone help.

There isn't a such thing as DHCP browser. It sounds like you enabled/installed
NFAP on the server and the Master Browser delegation is taken by NetWare6.
Please ask in the NFAP forum on how to properly configure NetWare6 in a NT/2000
Domain environment.

P.S. NFAP enables the ability for NetWare to act like a Microsoft server.

Another Thought is that perhaps his DHCP server is now servicing those clients and
not giving the WINS setup that the other PCs expect.

Note: I think Edison has most likely correctly guessed the issue, but you may just
want to dbl check with the other Admin that your DHCP server is not handing out to
addresses to his machine instead of his DHCP server.
