DHCP for remote sites

Right now we are in the process of moving all of our remote site servers to our main site. We have 15 remote sites, each w/ there own subnet connected by cisco routers. I set a scope for the remote subnet on the central server
Per a article I read we set the config. on the router to open ports 67&68 and put in a helper statment pointing to the new DHCP server.
Currently in testing we have had no luck in getting the remote clients (W2K prof) to recieve addresses from our central site. Does anyone have any idea's how I should proceed

Thanx ahead of time
 
You should not open any ports, just configure the relay (helper in Cisco
terms) and the remote scope on the DHCP server. If you have the cisco
correctly configured there should not be a problem. If you still can't get
it working take sniffs on both sides of the router and you should be able
to determine where the failure is.

I spoke to the people that take care of our WAN and they seem to think the problemlies in the vLAN's we use to connect each remote site. We added the ip helper statment in the router at the remote site but it didn't seem to do anything

Thanx for the reply and any other idea's
 
Welp, we found out the issue. We applied the ip helper statment to the wrong interface. As soon as we set it up right everything wen't great. Dunkas for the help
