IP addresses are handed out on a per machine basis. All the management for this is in the DHCP management console which you'll find in the Administrative Tools in the Control Panel.

My best advice is to ditch the DHCP and setup each pc with a static IP address. DHCP servers have lease times to deal with and I hear issues all the time with this. There are about 3-4 problems I hear on this message board, most have simple solutions, stop using cross over cables and get a router or at least a hub for just networking and DHCP issues, set static IP's when possible and they are almost always the best option. Don't worry about the nat on the router and it's DHCP server. Unless you have a server use the ISP DNS and point to the router for the gate way. Make sure all is in the same scheme and workgroup.

chas2u, you're using Windows server 2003 so that does have a DNS server. On the Manage Your Server select to create a new role and you'll see DNS as an option. You could setup the DNS server for your internal network and it could be configured to send all external domains to your ISPs DNS servers. |

I was speaking in general about the DNS server not this particular issues. I think that chas2u knows that they have a 2003 server running DNS and that was not his original question so I was a bit off topic. However I was trying to educate the masses, this message board is for all to benefit not just the original post. There is sufficient evidence that this is a small network, therefore I don’t see the need to use a DHCP server especially if it is giving the user headaches as it appears to be in this situation and that applies for all. And yes you are correct you can make this setting in the DNS config on the server, however you can just as easily make this setting on each pc in the DNS search order and you want to point to the local DNS server first for logon reasons, otherwise you will experience long authentication issues especially in XP. -DudeDomain |
