Guest twillett Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 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 Tim

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. Tim

Guest twillett Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 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 > When using DHCP, I suspect your default gateway is not right.
