DHCP Suddenly Stops Working

We have a SBS 2003 server where the DHCP service suddenly stopped working. I
have checked to see that all services are running, but being somewhat new to
DHCP (we ran static befor this), I am at a point of puzzlement to find the
problem. As far as I can tell, everything is set up correctly.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to check before I "call in the big
dogs" on this?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

Any other DHCP Server within the same domain? You may want to check
EventViewer or DHCP Server Audit Logs for more information.

There WAS another DHCP server that we weren't aware of, but we turned off
that device's DHCP server status, so it is no longer giving out addresses.
As for the Event Viewer, I didn't see any messages. I will check the DHCP
Server Audit Logs (Wasn't aware they were there) to gain further
information.

Thanks! I'll write back soon...

DHCP is working. I found that it was not "bound" to the server that needed
to hand out the IP's...
