We had trouble with our Win2K DHCP server not giving out IP addresses (there
were plenty available, including some machines that had valid leases but
couldn't get the IP address) - again only to certain machines (these were
Win2K Pro or Linux desktops). You could do IPCONFIG /RELEASE then IPCONFIG
/RENEW to sort the issue but you had to log on to the client first !
SO ....
We removed DHCP from the W2K box and installed a Linux DHCP server based on
Redhat 7.2 - Never had ANY problems with that one ! ! !

Ever since moving to Windows 2000 DHCP service we've had problems with
Windows 98 machines not getting IP addresses when they are powered on. If a
client logs on right after the machine is started up they can't access any
network resources because they don't have an IP. If the client waits a few
minutes after the machine is up, and at the login prompt they're able to
login just fine.
We don't see this in all of our windows 98 clients, and all the machines are
on the same network as the DHCP server, no relays are in place.
We did not have this problem when we were running on the Windows NT 4.0 DHCP
service. Anyone see something like this?
Thanks,
