I was wondering if you can have dynamic and static IP addresses on the same
network. The network will include PCs with Win98, W2K, and XP operating
systems. So far I was able to set up a network with Static IP addresses but
was not able to bring in a PC with a Dynamic IP address. The only time I was
able to use a Dynamic IP address was with a XP machine. The PC was set with
a Dynamic IP and I would also have to use the Aleternative Configuration
which was set with a static IP address.

Thanks,

Dynamic is much easier as it also provides the WINS and DNS for your
workstations. Workstations needs to be set to obtain IP automatically and
DNS also.

Do you have a W2000-server? Is WINS installed (W9x need it)? Is DNS
installed? How many nics in the server and how are they setup (IP's)?
