Zoey No problem - I'll be imbibing a pint of Old Speckled Hen...

w00t! Fixed I just found the problem. After making all the changes suggested (which I most humbly give thanks for) I restarted DHCP. Then I right-clicked on the root of the DHCP tree and selected "Manage Authorized Servers" and to my surprise, there were two server.mydomain.local...

OK, I've taken ALL the steps advised above - including reinstalling TCP/IP on one of the w/s. and still no joy. The w/s I reinstalled TCP/IP on can no longer see the LAN or net - it says "The DHCP Controller is not available" when I re-boot. The list of leases in the DHCP console now...

Oh, and I do need Active Directory and DHCP on the server to run DoubleTalk on the Apple.

Lance By ICS do you mean Internet Connection Sharing? I do have this running on the server. Should I turn this off?

Zoey In option 15 do I put in my domain name? What do I put in as the WINS/NBNS option? (this is all getting way over my head.... I thought I understood all this, but I'm feeling like a 5y/o trying to do calculus (yes, I know some 5y/o can do calculus :-))

PPP adapter is my ISDN modem - Demon is my ISP. I don't understand the submask (yet) are you saying I should have 255.255.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0?

Glen I just created another dial-up connection and there's no way of setting a subnet mask. Yes DNS provided by ISP. I have Forwarding on and have removed the root from DNS server.

Glen If you mean between the Ethernet Adapter & the PPP Adapter, good question. I can't remember setting that (can one set a ISDN TA mask?) all I remember plugging in is the IP address, given to me by my ISP.

Sam There are no old leases - that's the point, only 3 leases out of six have been issued. Only my W2K Pro laptop, 1 W98 W/S and the iMac have leases. question, did u change the class configuration of your DHCP (in wich you can define a special scope for a define system eg: W9X Option classes...

This morning more wierdness abounds. One of the W98 workstations has a lease and can see the LAN and the Internet. The iMac has a lease and can see the LAN, but not the Internet. The other W98 machines don't have a lease but can all see the LAN & the Internet! The settings on all the W98...

First, thanks for your replies - it's my day off today so the problem has had a rest too. I have checked all the w98 w/s and as far as I can see all the correct settings are in place. From memory, the server (W2k Server) is seen by the w/s as the server - ie 192.168.0.1 - I can connect via...

The server is authorised (it's got a little green up-arrow). WINIPCFG - On a machine that has logged on successfully (can see the server, shares and other workstations, oh and BTW can be seen from the server by LANguard Network Scanner - with all the correct credential (logon name, station...

What exactly are the problems you mention? What happens when you try to map? I have W98 workstations mapping drives on the server and other workstations. I had no problems mapping these drives. Have you added a new share for the drive?

My server is configured to provide file, print and internet sharing (the latter through an ISDN TA - no router). I've configured a scope in DHCP - 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.24 - two reservations: one for the server on .1 and one for my laptop on .2 DHCP server doesn't (according to...
