RAS and DHCP

Does anyone know why a multiple RAS dhcp addresses show up
in the DHCP server's list of active leases even though we
are not explicitly running RAS?

I noticed that there are several RAS DHCP leases being
handed out by both our W2k terminal server and various
desktop workstations (that don't seem to have RAS
installed/configured)


I ask because every day, about 4-6 computers (both 98,
2000 and XP clients) get an "IP Conflict" error and I am
at the end of my rope trying to solve this issue. Another
reason I tie this to RAS is each machine that gets the IP
conflict has an incorrect subnet mask, often the
255.255.255.255 mask.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! (Duh)
 
If you have a server configured with RRAS, the RRAS server will grab 10
leases at a time from DHCP. You can change this in several ways

1) use a static scope ( RASServer Properties > IP tab )
2) make the RAS server a LAN Router Only ( RASServer Properties >
General tab )
3) tell the RAS Server to obtain addresses dynamically through a
different interface ( RASServer Properties > IP tab )
4) disable RRAS
