Hi

I have DHCP Installed in W2k Server. I am facing one
problem. Some users sometimes disconnect from the net
suddenly and when I give from the command prompt ipconfig
release and renew its get work and then again after
sometimes its asking me to give release and renew.
Is there any issue with DHCP settings or something I
forgot to configure. Out of 100 users only 10 users are
facing this problem. Rest all are getting net and network
perfectly.
Please suggest me what cpuld be the problem as soon would
be appreciate.

If the other 90% of your clients are all working ok, and everybody is using
the same dhcp server and in the same scope etc, it sounds like its more on
the client side than dhcp.
I wasn't clear on what you meant though when you said "its asking me to give
release and renew" so if you could clarify that a bit, it would help.

Are the affected clients all on the same hub/switch etc that the others who
work are not on.
Are they running one OS and the others a different OS, same service packs,
etc.
Any other common factors that would apply to the 10 who are having problems
and would not apply to the others.
Plenty of address available to hand out?

Hi

I mean that when the user calls me that I am not getting
the net. then I go to that node and give in command prompt
ipconfig /release and/renew. Then it gets work.
Mostly windows xp users are facing this type problem. In a
day I have to do 40 times this command then only its get
work.

Have I am missing something in DHCP configuration.
