We have 1 RIS server with multiple subnets. Each subnet has its own DHCP server. We have 2 DNS servers When we try to pull down an image on the same subnet as the RIS server we have no problem. But when we try from a remote subnet we get the error ' no DHCP server available' But if you boot into windows you can release and renew your IP without a problem. We are a fully switched network, with cisco routers. I remember reading somewhere that the RIS client computer sends a broadcast. Which the local DHCP should respond to. Can someone shed some light on this for me? -------------------------- Jason Benway benwayj@xxxxxxxx 1250 S.Beechtree Grand Haven, MI 49417 616-847-8474 Fax: 616-850-1208 This Weeks Sponsor ================================== CPU seNTinel by OneApp Definitive Control over Individual Applications CPU utilization http://www.oneapp.co.uk/site/sentinel ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm
