DHCP gives client address but no gateway address

Recently I deleted the DHCP scope on my Win 2003 SBS and recreated it
I intially had some trouble but I got it working
The problem is that I think there is still a problem with the DNS settings
Below is a copy of the "ipconfig /all) fro a workstation
My question is that under the NIC section (Token Ring adapter Local Area
Connection 2
there is no
"Connection-specific DNS suffix"
"Default Gateway" address or
"DNS Server" address
Is this a problem or is this ok and if it is a problem how can I fix it

I think it is a problem with a configuration setting on the DNS server
but I confess I really don't know what the problem is

Yes, this is a problem. At a minimum you need a default gateway specified if
it's to connect to any other networks. A DNS server should also be specified in
most cases. Both of these can be set by the DHCP server, you just haven't done
it.

Well, Thank you for the conformation of its need the question of how is
still out there
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.16.10
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . blank)
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.16.3

If you check out these settings you'll notice that the workstation is
getting an IP address and
a subnet mask from the DHCP server that is running on the WIN 2003 SBS
but it is not getting a
Gateway address. The settings on the network card specifiy that both
are supposed
to be suplied to the workstation via DHCP.

The real question is how do I fix it

i'm going to assume you checked the obvious...dns server(s) and router have
been configured in your scope?

Actually I aready got the answer from another source but thank you for
your response

""
Under the scope, r-click Scope Options -> Configure Options.

Enable numbers 003 Router, 006 DNS Servers, and 044 Wins Servers, and for
each of them use your SBS's Internal IP for the value. Enable 015 DNS
Domain Name with yourdomain.local as the value (your actual DNS domain
name). Enable 046 WINS/NBT Node Type with the value 0x8.
""
Is the solution I was looking for
