DHCP stopped handing out address...HELP PLEASE!!

Hey all,

Got a problem with a DHCP server on a Windows 2003 server. It has just
stopped handing out addresses. I don't get any errors on the server. I've
tried removing and reinstalling and still same thing! Any ideas? We have a
DHCP server on our firewall, and when I turn it on, clients get an IP from
it, so it's not switches or infrastructure.

Thanks for any help or ideas.

PS - Any tools for troubleshooting this thing from Microsoft?

I have a similar (if not identical) problem. Everything on the server
appears to be running fine, but when I scan for DHCP servers on my network
there are none to be found. Using a built in DHCP server on our router or
firewall works fine.

I have noticed in the Advanced tab of DHCP properties under the Bindings
button, that both my inward and outward facing NIC's are listed but neither
of them are checked. If I check the inward facing card and click OK, I am
unable to apply the changes.

Maybe this is a good place to start.

Hi Neil,

I would use Network Monitor to capture the packets while
manually renewing the tcp/ip address. You can run it on the
server and specify only traffic between the server and a
problem client.
