Static IP and DHCP on Home Network

I need advice on how to proceed with a home network problem.

Here's my current configuration:
NT Server 4.0 as PDC; static ip 10.0.0.1
W2K clients; DHCP; NetBEUI
W2K client; static ip 10.0.0.9
W2K client; static ip 10.0.0.6
Hub-to-router-to-DSL modem

The router allows me to VPN to work via IPSEC for the W2K DHCP clients.
Presumably, I'm using NetBEUI on the W2K clients for access to NT Server,
plus file and printer sharing.

W2K 10.0.0.9 is set up as an Oracle server (11i).
W2K 10.0.0.6 is the Oracle client.

I want to configure W2K 10.0.0.6 as DHCP, but I also need to ping and browse
Oracle server at 10.0.0.9.

How can I do this?

Hi Fred,

Please perform the following steps.

From the Windows NT server desktop, complete the
following:

1. Place your NT system CD in the server CD-ROM.

2. Close the Server install screen if it automatically
pops up.

3. Right click on Network Neighborhood, select Properties.

4. Select the Services Tab, then select the Add button.

5. Select Microsoft DHCP Server.

6. At the NT Setup dialog box replace A:\ with the drive
letter of your CD-ROM.

7. A warning dialog box will pop up reminding you that "If
any adapters are using DHCP to obtain an IP address they
are now required to use a static IP address." Choose OK.

8. Close the Network window by choosing Close.

9. When asked to down and restart your server, choose Yes.

10. When the server restarts, login as Administrator and
move on to configure the DHCP service.

11. Reapply Service Pack 4 after your system restarts.

To configure DHCP server service, first add a server for
DHCP to use, then create a scope or range of addresses to
use. Then add options to the scope of addresses so the
DHCP clients know what gateway and DNS server etc. to
use. From the NT server console, use the DHCP Manager
utility to add a server where the DHCP
server services will reside.

1. Under Administrative Tools (common), open DHCP Manager.

2. From the Windows Taskbar, select Start Button/Programs
Menu/Administrative
Tools/DHCP Manager.

3. From the menu bar, select Server/Add.

4. At the dialog box Add DHCP Servers to Server List,
enter the IP address of this
server, then choose OK.

To create a scope or range of IP addresses for the DHCP
server to use:

1. From the menu bar, select Scope/Create, and enter the
information for the new subnet.

2. Enter the beginning and ending IP Address range you
wish DHCP to issue.
Start Address: 10.0.0.2
End Address: 10.0.0.9
Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
Exclusion Range:
Start Address:
End Address:
Lease Duration: <3 hours>
Name: <HS-LAN>
Comment: <The High School LAN>

3. When the dialog box, The scope has been successfully
created, but has not yet been
activated. Activate the new scope now? appears, choose Yes

Please perform the following steps on Windows 2000
computer to set to DHCP service:

1. Right click on 'My Network Places' and select
Properties

2. Right click on 'Local Area Connection' and select
Properties

3. Select 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' and click
Properties

4. Select 'Obtain an IP address automatically" (and
repeat for DNS) and click OK

NT4 needs SP 6a and post hotfixes.

I got mixed results.

DHCP installed fine on the NT server, but it seems to preempt the DHCP
addressing from the DSL connection.
Hence, it looks like I'm back to square one.

Any ideas on how to get a fixed IP and a DHCP IP assigned to a W2K pc?

Thanks.

On the server go the Control Panel, Network, tab Protocols, TCP/IP and set a
static IP for your internal nic.
If you have a second nic for your DSL, make sure that on the bindingstab
your internal nic is on top everywhere and that only TCP/IP is bound to your
external nic.
After that a reboot is needed and you need to setup the DHCP-server.
