Windows 2003 DHCP Server


Recommended Posts

Hello all I am hoping you can help me. I have just migrated from

Netware DHCP to Windows 2003 DHCP. We are one of the departments in a

county that need some access to resources in the Main Downtown Office

- Timesheet and Fiscal stuff - but for the most part we host all of

our own services. This system has been in place for 2 or 3 years and

works good until the migration of DHCP services this last Friday. All

of our stuff locally works great and the server gives all of the IP

info we need however we cannot load web based apps that connect to to

our downtown office anymore. What is wierd is if I go to some of the

problem PCs and type in the TCPIP info manually, I can get to the apps

we need just fine, it is only when we allow those PCs to accept the

DHCP address that nothing works. We use DNS Forwarding for the

downtown domain, and I also have to push their WINs serves addresses

form our DHCP server to have everything work, but as I said this

system has been working great until the DHCP migration. I can ping

all of the servers both by name and IP, we need on their system only

if I type the TCPIP information manually on any PC on our network, if

we allow DHCP to give the same TCPIP information we cannot ping them

at all. I think I am missing a piece of the puzzle but am not sure

what it is and was hoping you all could help us put our finger on it.

 

Thanks in advance

We use DNS Forwarding for the

> downtown domain, a

 

By this do you mean that the new DHCP server that you set up is configured

to forward requests to the downtown domain?

Can you ping the downtown domain DNS server from your new DNS server?

I just have a new DHCP server our DNS server has been in place for a

long time and it forwards requests that need resources on the Main

County Office Domain as needed. I can ping that particular DNS/WINS

server from both our new DHCP server and DNS server. Just not the

client PCs getting the new DHCP addresses.

When using DHCP, I suspect your default gateway is not right. Typo maybe ?

Re: Windows 2003 DHCP Server

 

Well here is where I am at, I have all of the scope options defined

including gateway, I tried them as server options and as scope options

this did not work. I have tried disabling the firewall on the PCs

this also did not work. I spent 6 hours on the phone with Microsoft

and still nothing. I am now working with our Cisco guys - we have a

contract for all of our Cisco work - to see what could be blocking the

traffic. They do not think anything is blocked but are still

checking. For now I have assigned the old range of IPs that the

original Netware server was passing out and seems like everything is

working again. Something has got to be blocking traffic somewhere

just not sure where yet.

 

I appreciate all of the comments this is a strange problem
