I'm new to this forum, but according to other forums I've used, you usually get better responses by making a "new topic." (Unless of course your question is DIRECTLY related to a CURRENTLY dated topic- which you question is only slightly related to this thread due to it being about printers.)

BINGO!! Thanks!

I've only worked at current office 1 yr. Maybe they had NetWare previously. Now they have win2k ntwk. But you gave me the idea to search the registry for the text that displays in the custom logon message! I'll be in work tomorrow 12/7 & will check it out - thx!

Immediately before the "login name & password" login window that exists by default - someone added a custom warning message. The message says "You must login with your username & password." This is an outdated message and is confusing new users. However I do not know how to change this message...

Also- to restart DHCP service, I imagine it is the DHCP SERVER vs. the DHCP client?

Glad you said to restart the DHCP service, in retrospect it sounds obvious, but I wouldn't have known. I appreciate the detail. Lingering Question: could this described situation cause some intermittent printer problems? For my situation, (and considering my knowledge level on servers) I...

-scottie: the lease duration is 30 days. -dkediger: is changing the pool address range as simple as changing it in the dhcp manager, rt-click on scope, properties, & then put in a new "start ip" address & "end IP" address? OR- should I rt-click on address pool & "add new exclusion range" there...

We have to intermittently stop & start the win2k server's print spool to get the printers printing again. I searched thru prev posts & have learned that it would be a good idea to move the prt spool to a different partition that has more free space (c drive has only 550MB free). However, I...
