I work at a high school and I'm having problems connecting
to the main service of the whole school district. I
released the ipaddress, flushed the dns, re registered the
dns and renewed the ipaddress, but I get assigned the same
bad IP address and I still wasn't able to connect to the
main server at the district office. Also I released the ip
addresses on the server in DHCP and I refreshed the client
computers in DNS. I am able to view the high school
network and connect to the computers here, but there are
at least 5 addresses within a certain scope that I can't
connect to. I had to assigned an ipaddress in order to
connect outside of the high school and onto the main
server at the district office and the internet. Would
anyone happen to know why I can't connect to the internet
or to the district office with this specific IP address.
 
If you have access to the DHCP server, make sure there isn't a reservation
for your NIC's MAC address in there.
 
Well, if there isn't one, you may want to create one. This will allow you to
configure yourself for DHCP, but the server will always give you the same
one.

Also, you may want to find out why you are getting a "bad" IP address. What
about it is bad? Is it in a different subnet that isn't allowed access to
the other lan? If so, why are they being issued? Is your DHCP serving
multiple scopes (super-scopes)?

Give some specifics on your subnet(s).
 
there is only one subnet but DHCP is serving 3 different
scopes, but in one of the scopes, DHCP isn't assigning
any addresses from it for some reason. I have to manually
put a static ip address on each client from that specific
scope. The reason why I call it a bad ip address is
because i can ping the server at the specific location,
but I can not ping the server at the main district office
for some reason. The district office is our "ISP" to the
internet..... Do you have any other suggestions?
