DHCP suddenly not working
All the PCs currently in the LAN(Server: WinNT4.0)
can not automatically get IP addresses from the server.
So all workstations can not browse internet and logon
to the domain. I reboot the server and check DHCP
server. But It doesn't work. Right now I am using static
IP addresses. Anyone can help me go back to using
dynamic IP addresses.
Thanks,
Mark
 
You really haven't given us much to go on. For example, where are the
clients supposed to be getting their DHCP from? Have you checked the DHCP
source to be sure it's working properly? What range of addresses are the
clients supposed to get, and what range of addresses do they get when DHCP
is not working? Does the DHCP server also provide DNS services?

try recreating your DHCP scope settings as they may have become corrupt.

In addition to Richard's and Steve's requests and comments, are there any
errors in the Event Viewer? Please post the Evend ID # please. Also, when
you try to start the service, does it give you any specific error? If so,
please post that as well.

Thanks,
